According to Tuttomercato, some Serie A clubs, including Cremonese, have made inquiries about Caleb Okoli. Leicester has responded by refusing any loans. The English club plans to keep him at least until the season's end, but would consider offers that would allow them to recover their investment.

According to reports from Italy, Leicester City have rejected an approach from Cremonese for Caleb Okoli. Sky Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio has stated that Leicester rejected Cremonese’s interest in the 24-year-old outright. There were no details regarding whether it was a loan or a permanent offer, but Leicester's position means Okoli will not be joining the club he helped to promotion four years ago.

Cremonese are seeking to sign a central defender and recently attempted to re-sign 24-year-old Caleb Okoli from Leicester. The English club, which is currently 12th in the Championship, rejected the attempt, stating that the Italian-Nigerian defender would not be leaving in the January transfer window. Okoli joined Leicester in July 2024 and has made 13 appearances in the Championship this season. His contract with the club runs until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €12.00m. AC Milan has also been linked with the player.
