Leicester flop Islam Slimani asks to cut his loan deal at Monaco short after Manchester United made shock move to sign him in bid to solve striker crisis
- Leicester striker Islam Slimani has asked for his loan at Monaco to be cut short
- Manchester United have made a shock enquiry over a loan deal for Slimani
- United have be told that it would cost them £4million to sign Slimani on loan
Leicester City striker Islam Slimani has asked to end his loan at Monaco after Manchester United made a shock enquiry for him.
United are eager to bring in Slimani on loan but have been told that such a deal would cost them £4million.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are desperate to bring in a striker before Friday's transfer deadline, with Marcus Rashford set to be out for around two months with a stress fracture in his back.
Islam Slmani has asked to cut his loan spell at Monaco short after Manchester United's enquiry
Solskjaer can call upon Anthony Martial and youngster Mason Greenwood, but United are certainly in need of an additional option up front.
Slimani has scored seven goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances for Monaco this season, while he has also provided seven assists.
The 31-year-old has missed Monaco's last two league games with a muscle injury.
Slimani signed for Leicester in 2016 but the striker has had three loan spells away from the club
Algeria international Slimani joined Leicester from Sporting in 2016 but has spent much of his Foxes career out on loan.
Prior to linking up with Monaco, Slimani had loan spells with Newcastle and Fenerbahce.
Slimani has scored 13 goals in 46 appearances for Leicester, where his contract runs until the summer of 2021.
