FC Copenhagen coach Ståle Solbakken has dismissed reports linking Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey with a return to the club.
Amartey last featured in the league for the Foxes since breaking his ankle against West Ham in 2018.
The 25-year-old is said to be looking to end his nightmare at the King Power Stadium when the summer transfer window opens.
Reports have linked the versatile guardsman with a return to FC Copenhagen this summer.
However, the club’s gaffer StÃ¥le Solbakken has shot down the claims, saying his outfit do not have the means to afford his wages.
“He said he wants to go home [to Copenhagen],” Solbakken told Denmark’s BT.
When asked if the Danish club has the budget to sign Amartey, Solbakken said: “No, we don’t, not [even] close.”
“But I don’t think he’s going to be expensive in the transfer market because Leicester want to get rid of his salary. But I don’t think it’s going to be here and now.”
Amartey, interestingly claimed both the Danish league title with FC Copenhagen, and the Premier League title with Leicester in the 2015/2016 season, after joining the English side in January 2016.
