CSKA coach confirms Leicester bid for Musa
CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutskyn has confirmed that English champions, Leicester City, have returned with a bumper bid for Super Eagles striker, Ahmed Musa.
CSKA in January rejected a bid from Leicester for Musa but Slutskyn revealed that the Super Eagles assistant captain is close to leaving the Russian Army.
Speaking on “Kult Tura,” a light-hearted Russian TV show, CSKA boss Slutsky indicated that the Foxes have made a significant offer for Musa, 23, and he expects negotiations to continue.

He said they offered “a bit less” than €30 million (£22.76m) and, asked if he was preparing to play without Musa next season, replied: “He came to me and asked when we start the training sessions after the vacation. I told him: ‘What do I know? I am not Ranieri!'”
He added that he said Leicester have already restarted negotiations and the process in ongoing.
“English clubs like to take their time in the transfer window and chase all kind of Ibrahimovics, but I think the chances are high.”
