Ian RoyalRoyalwasterUpNorth Strange that he has been given a new contract - could be a ploy to get more cash for him if he is sold.
This latest development still leaves the loan option in play.
'Offered' is not 'given' .... he might refuse it and seek a transfer instead.
It'd be a bit surprising to seem him turn down almost certainly significantly more money and a Premier League team in order to come and probably be mid-table Championship with us.
Also there is a very attractive lure or working with Japp Stam who may well be a schoolboy hero of Moore for all we know. So I could easily see that, and regular first team football, trumping another year or two getting the odd game here and there in the PL.
Plus the EP quotes the following today...
Reports even emerged over the weekend that they had offered Moore a new three-year deal in a bid to keep him at the King Power stadium.
But it is understood Moore wants to move to Madejski Stadium to work with Stam having fallen out of favour with Claudio Ranieri.
And a tweet he sent on Sunday evening suggests he hopes something can be finalised within the next few days.
The 23-year-old said: “Let’ see what this week brings.”
