Agents for Leeds United target Leonardo Ulloa have flown in to discuss the players future- or lack of.
Gary Monk was credited with an interest in the Argentinian striker at the start of January but face competition from Spain if they are to sign the 30-year-old.
Ulloa has drifted out of the picture at the King Power Stadium since his £8m transfer from Brighton in 2014.
According to leading Spanish football expert Guillem Balague Ulloa wants out of Leicester with one Spanish club lined up.

It’s unlikely that Leicester will be hard to deal with in terms of a transfer fee but will be looking to recoup something on the 30-year-old rather than let him leave for free.
Monk has been promised money to spend this month with additional firepower a priority- if Ulloa could recapture his Brighton form Leeds may just find the extra goals needed to fire them back into the Premier League.
