Islam Slimani accepts he will leave AS Monaco at the end of the season.

The striker has been on-loan with ASM from Leicester City, though the Ligue 1 giants are set to pass on signing him permanently.

As such, Slimani will return to the Foxes this summer, though could immediately be offloaded to former club Sporting CP.

Sporting are prepared to cough up to buy the Algeria international.

Slimani still has over a year to run on his Leicester contract.
