Caleb Okoli has been linked with a return to Italy over the past 12 months, and it is thought that a season in the third tier of English football is not part of the 24-year-old's plans. Fiorentina are interested in the defender after securing their Serie A status last season. Leicester, who bought Okoli from Atalanta in 2024 for £13m, could ask for approximately £7m this summer, a valuation influenced by his age and the three years he has left on his contract. During the 2025/2026 season, the Italian-Nigerian made 29 appearances in the Championship, scoring one goal and providing one assist. In addition to Fiorentina, other Serie A clubs such as Milan, Torino, and Bologna have been linked with the defender, who has a current Transfermarkt market value of €9.00m and is yet to be capped by the Italian national team.
