Leicester City is close to finalizing a loan deal for Brighton's 19-year-old midfielder Facundo Buonanotte, who was also a target for Celtic. The deal, which is expected to be completed within 24 to 48 hours, is seen as a strategic move for Leicester as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. Buonanotte’s loan is essential for his development, allowing him to gain regular playing time after struggling for consistency at Brighton due to injuries and competition. Leicester aims to strengthen their squad further following several departures and in light of potential points deductions related to financial breaches. The club has already signed several players this summer, including Abdul Fatawu and Caleb Okoli, and hopes to add more before the transfer window closes. As Leicester moves forward with Buonanotte, Celtic will need to look for alternative options for their squad.
