Inter Milan were irritated by Leicester City’s attempts to modify the contract for Stefano Sensi at the last minute, resulting in the transfer failing.
That’s according to Tuttosport, relayed by L’Interista, who explain why the trade fell through despite being on the edge of completion for much of January.
They claim that the midfielder was ‘practically one step away’ from joining Leicester after flying to England to undergo medical testing and sign a contract with the club.

However, right in the end, those in authority at Leicester ‘were not satisfied’ by the expenditures involved in the operation and requested a discount from Inter on the €2.5 million contract they had agreed upon.
The initial arrangement between the two teams was for the Foxes to pay €500,000 for an initial loan and an additional €2 million if they were promoted back to the Premier League.
They decided they didn’t want that arrangement anymore and attempted to change it, albeit Tuttosport did not specify how. Inter declined but ‘tried to please’. Leicester tried, but were ultimately unsuccessful.
As a result, the deal fell through, disappointing Sensi and Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca, who had specifically requested the midfielder’s signing.
