Man City struggle to sell expensive Iheanacho

       Manchester City are reportedly struggling to sell their unwanted forward
Kelechi Iheanacho

The Premier League billionaires have told the Super Eagles striker,
alongside Eliaquim Mangala , Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony, Fabian Delph and
Fernando , that he does not fit into Pep Guardiola ’ s plans for the new
season .
Iheanacho , who was omitted from Man City’ s preseason tour of the United
States, dropped down the pecking order at the Eithad Stadium following the
arrival of Brazilian wonderkid Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras in January on a
five -year deal reportedly worth £ 27m.
Despite having limited playing time , Iheanacho notched four Premier league
goals in 20 appearances for the Citizens last season .
Although the UAE 2013 FIFA Under - 17 World Cup winner has been given the
all -clear to leave the club this summer , our correspondent learnt that
the Nigerian , who joined Man City from Taye Academy in 2014 , is allegedly
proving difficult to sell so far .
Iheanacho has been linked with a £ 25m move to Premier League mid- table
outfits West Ham , West Brom and Leicester but no switch has materialised
as the 20 -year -old remains a Man City player .
It was learnt that suitors are not comfortable with Man City’ s insistence
on inserting a clause giving them first option on buying him back if he
proves a success .
Our correspondent also learnt that the mid-table clubs are stunned by
Iheanacho ’s reported £ 85, 000-a -week pay
    Leicester are said to be ready to splash out £ 25 m on the player but are
finding it hard to convince the youngster to accept a wage cut to seal a
move to the Power Stadium , where he Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare
has allegedly guaranteed him regular starting roles .
Guardiola , who confirmed that the club had placed a buy back clause in
Iheanacho ’ s proposed transfer , said on Wednesday the deal would be
completed in 10 days .
“ It is an honour to work with him ( Iheanacho ) because it was not easy
for him because I did not give him much
opportunities ,” the former Barca
boss told reporters ahead of his side’s clash against city rivals
Manchester United in Houston on Thursday ( Friday in Nigeria ) .
“ His behaviour, I ’ve never seen a guy like him ( before ) .
“ He is close to making a deal . Maybe next week or the next 10 days .
“ We have an option to bring him back .
“ He ’ s a young player and we believe he deserves to play . He needs to
play at that age and that ’s why him , the club and everybody , wants the best for him.
