Wilfred Ndidi is reportedly among Brendan Rodgers targets as the new Celtic boss looks to raid Leicester - but there are some staggering numbers behind a potential deal.
And the new Parkhead boss may have unwittingly priced the Scottish Premiership champions out of a deal with his previous comments on the midfielder during his time as Foxes boss.
Parkhead majority shareholder Dermot Desmond is set to hand Rodgers a bumper transfer kitty following his return to Celtic Park with the Irishman desperate to build a side capable of making a mark on the Champions League while continuing to dominate in Scotland.
Reports suggest that the 26-year-old has been viewed by Rodgers as fitting the profile of player he would like to add to his revamped squad - who has just a year left on his current Leicester contract following their relegation from the English Premier League.
