"Leicester City" club, having acquired striker Islam Slimani, had agreed to pay 24 million euros for another Lisbon "Sporting" football player, Adrien Silva.
However, the transfer did not happen, as the Portuguese club ultimately did not want to let go of their captain.
Moussa Sissoko, who was also interested, ultimately chose London's "Tottenham", and earlier this summer, a 18 million euro offer was made by the same city's "Crystal Palace".
In the summer, Adrien Silva, who became a European champion with the Portuguese national team, will help the "Sporting" team to compete in the UEFA Champions League.
