Djene Dakonam was one of Getafe's standout performers last year as they defied the odds and secured an automatic Europa League finish, only missing out on the Champions League on the last matchday of the season, and that led to many Premier League sides enquiring about the Togolese defender throughout the campaign.
Getafe president Angel Torres remained firm, though; either teams paid Djene's 35 million euro release clause or they would not be able to sign him.
Leicester City were one of the teams who got in contact with Getafe, and given the 90 million euros they are expected to receive for the sale of Harry Maguire to Manchester United, they now have the funds available to pay Djene's release clause.
There are six days left for clubs in England to conclude their transfer activity, with Leicester determined to bring Djene to the King Power Stadium.

Good business and good profit for Leicester!! Hope Maguire will shine given the huge burden of 90m pricetag on his head!!

Thatβs the difference between Leicester and man United! We get a shitload of cash for someone we spent shit on, and Man U will end the season with the same amount of trophyβs!πππππππππ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
