According to the latest confirmation from Leicester's official website, they will be parting ways with 7 stars. The players set to leave are Tielemans, Soyuncu, Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez, and Tete, as all their contracts are expiring. The relegation of the "Foxes" makes it challenging for them to persuade these players to stay at King Power Stadium.
Tielemans is expected to be one of the hottest names in the summer 2023 transfer window.
Among these players, Tielemans is likely to attract the most attention. Manchester United has pursued him for a long time, but Leicester has consistently rejected their advances. However, now the "Red Devils" have an opportunity to acquire the Belgian midfielder without having to pay any transfer fee.
However, Manchester United is not alone in the race to sign Tielemans. Arsenal, Newcastle, and recently Aston Villa have also joined the pursuit.
Tielemans garners such interest because he is highly regarded for his professional skills. He is an explosive midfielder, and at only 26 years old, he offers long-term value.
Among the 7 players departing Leicester, Soyuncu has agreed to join Atletico Madrid. Besides losing key players mentioned above, the "Foxes" face the risk of further depleting their squad. Maddison, Barnes, and Ndidi are all top-class players who have attracted the attention of several European giants. They seem unwilling to stay and help Leicester overcome their current difficulties.
If Leicester loses more key players in the near future, it will be difficult for them to secure promotion to the Premier League in the 2023/24 season. In the 2022/23 season, the team from King Power Stadium failed in the relegation battle, finishing 18th in the Premier League with 34 points, just 2 points behind the safety group.
