Mainz decide to cash in on Leicester target Shinji Okazaki

FSV Mainz are prepared to cash in on Shinji Okazaki this summer.

Kicker says the Bundesliga outfit are prepared to sell the Japan international attacker after resisting interest from Leicester City in January.

The Foxes have not dropped their pursuit and are expected to try again next month, regardless of which division they're in.

Okazaki is tied to Mainz until 2016, so making this summer the final transfer window to sell for top price.

Leicester failed with a €10 million bid for the attacker in midseason. Okazaki joined Mainz two years ago for €1.5 million.
