Blackpool have agreed to let goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli join Leicester City on a free transfer, subject to EFL approval. The 29-year-old would add experience to the goalkeeping department, having made 99 senior appearances for Eastbourne Borough, MK Dons, Wycombe Wanderers and, most recently, Blackpool. Ravizzoli said he was delighted to join, that he could not turn the opportunity down once the interest emerged, and that he feels ready for a new challenge while looking forward to working with Russell Martin again. He described Leicester as a big club with ambitions to be successful again, pledged to give everything to help, and said positive reports about the club, city and supporters made it the right place to keep improving. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, he came through Independiente and Quilmes before joining River Plate’s youth setup. He moved to Eastbourne Borough in January 2020, making 30 appearances, then to MK Dons in June 2021. After two seasons he joined Wycombe, playing 52 times, before signing for Blackpool in summer 2025. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 19th in League One, 51 pts, 14W-9D-20L from 43 games, recent form WLWWD. Goals this season: 51 scored, 65 conceded (-14 goal difference). Title race: 42 points behind leaders Lincoln. Next fixture: vs Reading (at home, 2027-02-13) (10th in the table).
