Joel Piroe’s asking price claim comes amid transfer rumours involving Leicester City and Leeds United.

The newest Leicester City transfer news comes after the club has been widely linked with the Swansea striker for the previous year.

Swansea City striker Joel Piroe is ‘likely’ to cost approximately £15 million this summer, with Leicester City and Leeds United among the clubs interested.

Enzo Maresca, who is looking to add to his attacking options, has identified the striker as a possible target in the transfer window. So far, City has added four new players to their roster.
This summer has seen the arrival of Harry Winks, Conor Coady, Callum Doyle, and Mads Hermansen. More new faces are likely between now and the end of the transfer season as City looks to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Piroe is one player who has been heavily linked with a move to City. The Dutchman was of interest to the club a year ago, with Swansea reportedly asking for a fee of approximately £20 million, but financial constraints prevented a deal from being completed.
He scored 20 goals in all competitions last season, so it’s no surprise that City are still interested in him. However, they are not the only club interested in the youngster, with Leeds United, Southampton, and Atalanta also rumoured to be interested this summer.

Piroe’s contract with Swansea expires in a year, which means he could be available for a lower price in summer. Piroe is likely to cost around £15 million, according to the Mail.

Swansea are thought to be hoping to undertake ‘crunch negotiations’ with Piroe over the weekend to discuss his valuation. If the Swans don’t move the striker this summer, they could lose him for nothing in a year.

Swansea manager Michael Duff provided the most recent update, revealing that the club has yet to receive any official proposals for the player this summer. “He’s been absolutely fantastic,” he told WalesOnline. “It’s [speculation] been everywhere, but we haven’t had a bid.”
