CSKA Moscow confirm Leicester City have revived interest in Ahmed Musa

CSKA Moscow boss Leonid Slutsky confirms that Leicester City have revived their interest in striker Ahmed Musa with a £22.8m bid.

CSKA Moscow manager Leonid Slutsky has confirmed that Leicester City have revived their interest in striker Ahmed Musa.

The Foxes, who won their first Premier League title in the club's 132-year history earlier this month, had a bid for the Nigerian rejected by the Russian outfit in January.

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri seems to remain keen to seal Musa's signature as Slutsky has confirmed that an offer of £22.8m has been tabled.

"The British club offered a bit less than €30m (£22.8m)," Slutsky told Russia's Match TV. "A few days ago, Musa approached me and asked, 'When is [Ranieri] back from holiday?' I told him, 'I am not Ranieri, I do not know'.

"I do not know for sure [if Leicester have reopened talks] because these negotiations are dealt with by management, but I think the probability is very high."

Musa scored 18 goals in the Russian Premier League this season.
