The loan deal for Callum Doyle, which spanned the entire season, involved talks regarding a potential permanent agreement or an obligation-to-buy arrangement, as disclosed in a previous report by The Athletic. Although the 20-year-old initially impressed in his role as a left-back for Leicester City, a knee injury has temporarily halted his progress, and he is presently in the process of recovering.
Despite this setback, a recent report from The Athletic suggests that Leicester City is still keen on securing Callum Doyle on a permanent basis, underscoring their interest in extending his tenure beyond the initial loan period.
The discussions regarding a permanent move are likely to be influenced by Doyle’s return to the starting XI for Leicester City and a resurgence in his performance.
The backing from fans and Enzo Maresca’s connection with Manchester City could prove advantageous. Moreover, if Leicester City secures promotion from the Championship, it could further strengthen their position in negotiations for a potential permanent deal.
However, considering the current wealth of defensive talent at Manchester City, it seems challenging for Doyle to secure a spot in the first team at this juncture.
