Leicester given Ricardo Pereira's value by Porto

The 24-year-old has previously been earmarked by Premier League outfits including Tottenham and Everton, and has worked under Leicester boss Claude Puel before, at Nice. 

Frenchman Puel will be looking to rejuvenate his defensive selection ahead of their next campaign as they seek out a Europa League spot, and the Portuguese player has only one year remaining on his contract.

The 'Foxes' are occupying ninth position in the Premier League, and are growing increasingly unlikely to clinch a European place finish with only a few games remaining this season.
