Leicester City are closing on a deal for Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet.
Sky Italia says Praet has not been included in Sampdoria's squad for their pre-season friendly against Spezia tonight amid interest from Leicester.
The Foxes and Sampdoria are still some way apart in their valuation of midfielder Praet, with the Italian club wanting around 24m for the Belgian international.
Leicester have had a long-standing interest in Praet, but have always shied away from Sampdoria's asking price.
Negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs.
