Bournemouth have lost some of their key players this summer following their relegation to the Championship.
Nathan Ake joined Manchester City for a reported fee of £40m last month, and Callum Wilson joined Newcastle United yesterday for a fee of £20m.
Josh King, another bankable asset, has been linked with a move to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur this summer. And it seems, Brooks could leave the club as well.
Manchester United have considered Brooks as a potential option, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to land Sancho.
Brendan Rodgers is a huge admirer of Brooks and wants to bring him to Leicester this summer. The Leicester boss wants to bolster his attacking options after missing out on a Champions League finish last season, and he is keen to sign the Welshman.
Bournemouth could sell Brooks this summer if their valuation is met. The Cherries are demanding a fee in the region of £35m for the winger.
