It may have to be Championship rather than Champions League next season for Robbie Brady, after Leicester City decided to pull out of talks following the Norfolk club putting a £20m price tag on his head, according to the Mirror.
The Euro 2016 star has already had a quarter of all Premier League clubs inquiring into his availability, although Leicester were believed to be in pole position being the only club who could offer him the Champions League football he desires to progress his career.
West Ham are also interested and relegated Norwich have now hiked up their valuation for the 24-year-old, who still has two years left on his contract at Carrow Road.
Several bids have already been rejected and Leicester could now look at other targets.
Given that only a matter of days ago the readers of ReadNorwich overwhelming voted in favour of accepting just £12m for the Republic of Ireland winger, it will come to a surprise to many in Norwich and around the country that such a large valuation has been put on him.
While a price tag doesn’t necessarily mean the fee required to land a player, it’s unlikely the relegated club wouldn’t put off top flight clubs with such a hefty fee unless they were serious about wanting a club-record transfer fee for Brady.
