Atalanta defender Yohan Benalouane is on the verge of a transfer to Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City, but the fee varies.

According to Talksport, the deal will be for £7m (around €10m), but SportItalia claim it is €7m (£4.9m) and that does seem more realistic.

The 28-year-old Tunisian is also of interest to Udinese and Lille.

Benalouane has been in Italy since 2010, when he left Saint-Etienne for Cesena.

Benalouane has been in Italy since 2010, when he left Saint-Etienne for Cesena.

He went on to loan spells at Parma and Atalanta before making the move permanent in July 2014 for €1m (£700,000).

If he were to be sold for £7m (€10m), it would represent a huge profit for the Orobici.
