Sources: Leicester City star Jannik Vestergaard rejects Fulham offer
Leicester City defender Jannik Vestergaard has rejected a move to Fulham, sources have told Football Insider.
This site revealed on Saturday morning (6 August) that the Foxes have accepted a bid for the Denmark international, 30, from the London outfit.
But Vestergaard has knocked back a potential transfer to Fulham in what is a crushing blow in their centre-back search.
It is understood he is not keen on a move to Craven Cottage.
It is also a setback for Leicester, who are trying to raise funds for their own signings without selling prize assets James Maddison and Wesley Fofana.
Vestergaard, who joined Leicester last summer (2021) for a reported £15million, made just six league starts in the 2021-22 campaign.
He has amassed 82 appearances in the English top flight following his arrival at Southampton in 2018.
Brendan Rodgers is also fielding interest in another centre-back, with Wesley Fofana a reported £85million target for Chelsea.
The Foxes are the only Premier League side yet to make a signing this summer.
They are suffering under financial fair play regulations and must sell before they can buy.
Fulham drew 2-2 with Liverpool in their first game back in the Premier League (6 August).
Aleksandar Mitrovic twice had the Cottagers in the lead as the Reds responded through Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.
