Premier League champions Leicester City are after Udinese midfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to The Leicester Mercury.
The 22-year-old is widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in Serie A, and it appears as though he has caught Ranieri's eye.
The Portuguese attacking midfielder has scored 10 goals in 86 appearances for Udinese, and is going to cost The Foxes around €10 million if they want to bring him in.
Porto are also interested in the player, and could prove a big problem for Leicester should the youngster want to move a little closer to home.
