Leicester City faces heavy bleeding after being relegated to the Premier League this season.
The fairy tale of “Foxes” has ended. Seven years after creating one of the most memorable seasons in English football history, Leicester City is only a shadow of itself. Accordingly, Leicester were officially relegated when they finished 18th in the Premier League this season.
The champion of England in the 2015/16 season once rained and stormed the Premier League. However, they fell off the cliff in a short time. With the relegation, Leicester City is also unlikely to retain the pillars.
Recently, the Leicester City homepage confirmed the farewell to 7 players including Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete. Due to contract expiration.
Among these, Soyuncu has reached an agreement to join Atletico Madrid. Tielemans will soon find a new home. In addition, Leicester may be forced to sell James Maddison and Harvey Barnes to cover next season’s expenses. This is a really good duo.
Indeed, Maddison and Barnes have been the two best players in the Leicester squad this season. While Maddison has 10 goals and 9 assists, Barnes also has 12 goals in 32 Premier League games.
In addition, other players like Wilfried Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira or Timothy Castagne can also be sought by many other teams. In contrast, Jamie Vardy can stay to help the host team overcome this difficult period.
Similarly, Leicester expect Jonny Evans to stay. The former Man Utd midfielder is out of contract at the end of this month, but has the option to extend for another year. Evans’ experience will be valuable to help Leicester find their way back to the Premier League next season.
