AdminLeicester City are preparing one final push to persuade Russell Martin to become the club’s next manager, with the Foxes ready to place a lucrative long-term offer on the table in a bid to get the deal over the line.
The Championship side are understood to be increasingly determined to land their preferred candidate after holding further discussions behind the scenes this week.
Club officials believe the former Southampton boss fits the style and direction they want moving forward, particularly as they look to rebuild following a difficult campaign.
Sources close to the situation indicate Leicester are willing to back their interest with a significant financial package, including a handsome salary and the security of a long-term contract.
The hierarchy hope that level of commitment will convince Martin to choose the King Power Stadium despite interest and alternative opportunities elsewhere.
Martin has been carefully weighing up his next move after leaving Southampton and is said to be taking his time before making any final decision on his future.
Leicester, however, remain eager to avoid a lengthy managerial search and are now making what is viewed internally as a decisive final attempt.
There is still no agreement in place at this stage, but Leicester remain hopeful their latest proposal can swing matters in their favour.
