I think staying close to home is important right now for JJ and he doesn’t want to be in France. You could have an agreement that should someone offer a fee for example £10m then you sell him. I agree it’s unlikely but I don’t think it’s impossible far from it.

 

Hamza and LT are going to be here and ultimately they are more than good enough for league 1. Do I like it? No. But funds are going to be needed elsewhere especially in the front 4. I also think a new left back is needed so you could sign a starter with LT as back up.

We have an option but he has final say. I doubt he will be short of suitors in the Championship.

Just bare in mind that for every player that leaves, finances have to be found to replace.. wether  that’s transfer free, signing on fee, agents fee..   some people  might be kept because we simply can’t afford to replace them..

We'd only realise that after we'd sold them

Nelson linked with a move to Man Utd. He won’t play there immediately of course (maybe never would) but the link is not surprising given he’s a young player who can be picked up for peanuts, developed and if he doesn’t make it, they will make a decent profit.

I'm hoping that Ruskin's incompetence helps us here and he sticks by some ridiculous valuations.

 

Was hoping Nelson would be here for a few years at least.

[LCFCJohn]

Come on, of course Nelson is going. I am surprised anyone actually thought he’d stay. And by the way, a year left on his contract, us being in a weak negotiating position as a club, dropping him and fans not having him. The the fee will be absolutely pitiful.

I'm not sure his potential is higher than top half Championship anyway. If he leaves, then best of luck. But he's one I'd thought would be delighted to finally get a chance to cement his place at a big club and build on that.

But you’re basing that on performances in a toxic side, the worst that we have ever had. It was no place for a young player trying to get started. Not all players reach their potential but his potential is definitely PL, not necessarily top of but not just Championship either. I think whilst he was flawed, he was blamed more than was proportionate for his part in it.

 

In terms of the second part, he’s not getting that here is he? What’s he getting playing at L1 level. He will probably get a move to a PL club and even if he then gets a loan to a high end Championship club to get what he should have had this season, which was a full season of development at the top end of the Championship to see whether he can then step up again, it will be a great career move for him. 
 

It’s a low risk move for a low fee for a PL club who will view his career as a whole so far and potential rather than being reactionary like our fans and turning on him because he wasn’t able to fix our problems.

I think you've been blinded by the years of hype. 

 

I could easily turn it around and say that he got his chance in a side and proved no better (and arguably no worse) than the other options.

 

I fail to see the PL potential and there certainly won't be any interest this summer unless Hull are looking to secure themselves a potentially good player for when they're back in the Championship.

Someone's very optimistic

 

Leicester City can raise £83m from transfer sales this summer as brutal reset needed

 

Leicester City can raise £83m from transfer sales this summer as brutal reset needed
Story by Josh Holland

 

The summer transfer window will open on June 15 and the reset button will be pressed at Leicester City, if it hasn't already. Relegation to League One means the Foxes' squad will go through a much-needed shuffle between now and September.

Frustration among supporters has intensified as May ticked into June over the lack of movement in the window. The club have already confirmed a handful of first-team absentees in their released list, but any further deals have been very quiet.

 

The opening of the window is in just over a week and that means the flurry of announcements will come more frequently. Leicester's back-to-back relegations from the Premier League to the third tier means nearly every player will have question marks over their future.

Discussions between clubs will be stepped up. City's main issue is the uncertainty around their manager. It's understood that once the man in the dug-out is in place, the manager will know which players will be kept, which will be allowed to leave, and who will have no place in that manager's plan.

 

The Foxes will need to clear the gutter of wantaway players to allow youngsters to be bled in. Harry Winks' future does look bleak at the King Power Stadium, while Abdul Fatawu has Premier League interest and Jeremy Monga is being pursued by Arsenal.

But there are still a number of players whose future could be elsewhere and that will come into Sporting Director James McCarron's thinking when the squad overhaul is considered.

 

Jakub Stolacrzyk is no longer an up-and-coming goalkeeper at the age of 25. After coming in for Mads Hermansen in the Premier League, the Pole's last season in the Championship was littered with inconsistency - resulting in him being dropped to the bench by both Marti Cifuentes and Asmir Begovic.

With one year left on his deal, this summer presents a final chance to cash in on him. City have been linked with Sunderland's Matty Young already so it wouldn't be a surprise if Stolarczyk had interesting offers put on the table. A fee of around £4m is realistic for a goalkeeper with Championship experience.

Fran Vieites is one player who will be almost guaranteed to want a move after not playing a single minute for the club last season. The 27-year-old, though, won't cost much and could be an easy sell for City at around £500k.

 

Into defence and there's a number of players who could be sold. Caleb Okoli has been tentatively linked with a return to Italy for the past 12 months and at the age of 24, a season in the third tier of English football won't be on his agenda.
Fiorentina are reportedly keen on him after staying in Serie A last season. After costing £13m from Atalanta in 2024, Leicester could easily ask for £7m this summer due to his age and contract having three more years.

Harry Souttar, who played in the final two games of the season, will put himself in the shop window at the World Cup with Australia this summer. He still has admirers at Sheffield United with Chris Wilder back at the club after previously signing him on loan two years ago.

A torn Achilles has stagnated his career as of late, but the 27-year-old could be an asset if he comes out of the World Cup unscathed. The injury should be a sticking point for any buying club, but £4m would be a decent fee for the Aussie.

Onto our first 'high-ceiling' player on this list and Ben Nelson is someone that has Premier League interest. Chelsea were understood to be keen previously but Manchester United are the latest side to be mentioned.

The 22-year-old is a regular in the England youth set-up and as a left-footed centre-back, he ticks boxes that clubs desire. Having a relegation on his CV won't help him, but £10m is what he should be valued at after his steady rise through the academy.

City's Danish duo, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen, probably should be looking for clubs. Vestergaard's stay in LE2 has been overstayed while Kristiansen's comments on League One last month, whilst true, revealed his stance.

£2m for Vestergaard, 33, and £5m for Kristiansen, who helped Bologna qualify for the Champions League two seasons ago, are no-brainers for City.

 

In the middle of the park, let's start with Winks. It's not an unpopular claim to suggest City accept anything they can get for the midfielder. Fall outs with managers, fans and his wages being a problem point towards him being gone by the time the transfer window closes
On his day, he's exceptional on the ball and in the Championship, he would thrive at a mid-table/play-off contending team. He is 30 meaning any contract offers aren't likely to surpass 2-3 years, so a fee of £3m would be perfect for everyone involved - however the manager's vision could include him and see him stay.

Hamza Choudhury has been on Leicester City's books since he was a kid, with the odd loan spell sprinkled across. But this summer feels like the right time for a new challenge for the Bangladesh international. Again, like Souttar, Wilder signed him at Sheffield United previously and a reunion wouldn't be surprising.

As a player capable of playing at right-back and central midfield, Choudhury offers versatility for any club. £5m would make sense for City, a fee that they would be able to class as pure profit on the books.

Oliver Skipp is another who will feel like it’s time to move on. After signing from Tottenham for around £25m, the 25-year-old has suffered back-to-back relegations.

There were spells last season where he proved his quality in the Championship. He’s also played in the Premier League with Spurs and earned promotion with Norwich City. City will have to take a loss on him, but anything around the £8m mark wouldn’t be terrible.

Monga is edging closer to becoming the first major exit at Leicester with it understood that Arsenal are aiming to secure a deal for the 16-year-old. Talks are said to be underway with it suggested that the Gunners face paying in the region of £10m-£15m.
Ironically, the biggest asset for Leicester is our last one. Fatawu was wanted after his first season in England, he stayed with City before an injury put a stop to any talk of a move.

He started last season on fire and pulled off some wonderful goals. Talk of a late summer move fell quiet and there were fleeting concerns that a bigger club would land him in January.

Now, as a League One club, Leicester can't say no to his sale. Fatawu could cost anywhere between £20m and £40m, depending on his performance at the World Cup. The 22-year-old still has so much to learn but there's not many wingers like him and clubs will have taken notice of that.

Right now, around £25m would be a fair price. Anything less than that and there'd be an argument that Leicester have been schooled.

& yet it’s reported Manchester United are keeping tabs on him, a team who finished 3rd in the premier league but he’s only good enough for a ‘Hull’ with a view to after they are relegated in your view

 

I’ve said it before Aluko & Nelson will have the highest ceiling in all of the young lads we played in the 1st team last season, funny how we all look at players differently.

Man Utd are linked with him….

 

It’s not blinded by hype. It’s looking logically rather than with the negative blinkers many have that there’s a player who progressed through each level with flying colours and then yeah, is being now written off as crap because he couldn’t single handedly turn our toxic shit show around. I don’t think a part season of games for us this season constitutes getting his chance if we are writing him off.

 

He will get out this summer and spend his career (injuries permitting) at a higher level than this club does in the same period.

This has got to be one of the most delusional articles ever written.

 

£8mil for Oliver Skipp who was one of the worst midfielders in the championship?

 

£3mil for Harry Winks who is on ludicrous wages for his ability. Ideally we should snap anyone's hands off who are willing to take him on a free. Also Winks thriving at a play off contending team? Did they miss us not winning a game where he started from November till the end of the season?

 

£2mil for 33 year old Vestergaard and £5mil for Kristiansen, who Bologna wouldn't go over £8mil for when he had just helped them to champions league football.

 

It's just so far from reality.

Onto our first 'high-ceiling' player on this list and Ben Nelson is someone that has Premier League interest. Chelsea were understood to be keen previously but Manchester United are the latest side to be mentioned.

The 22-year-old is a regular in the England youth set-up and as a left-footed centre-back, he ticks boxes that clubs desire. Having a relegation on his CV won't help him, but £10m is what he should be valued at after his steady rise through the academy.

City's Danish duo, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen, probably should be looking for clubs. Vestergaard's stay in LE2 has been overstayed while Kristiansen's comments on League One last month, whilst true, revealed his stance.

£2m for Vestergaard, 33, and £5m for Kristiansen, who helped Bologna qualify for the Champions League two seasons ago, are no-brainers for City.

 

In the middle of the park, let's start with Winks. It's not an unpopular claim to suggest City accept anything they can get for the midfielder. Fall outs with managers, fans and his wages being a problem point towards him being gone by the time the transfer window closes
On his day, he's exceptional on the ball and in the Championship, he would thrive at a mid-table/play-off contending team. He is 30 meaning any contract offers aren't likely to surpass 2-3 years, so a fee of £3m would be perfect for everyone involved - however the manager's vision could include him and see him stay.

Hamza Choudhury has been on Leicester City's books since he was a kid, with the odd loan spell sprinkled across. But this summer feels like the right time for a new challenge for the Bangladesh international. Again, like Souttar, Wilder signed him at Sheffield United previously and a reunion wouldn't be surprising.

As a player capable of playing at right-back and central midfield, Choudhury offers versatility for any club. £5m would make sense for City, a fee that they would be able to class as pure profit on the books.

Oliver Skipp is another who will feel like it’s time to move on. After signing from Tottenham for around £25m, the 25-year-old has suffered back-to-back relegations.

There were spells last season where he proved his quality in the Championship. He’s also played in the Premier League with Spurs and earned promotion with Norwich City. City will have to take a loss on him, but anything around the £8m mark wouldn’t be terrible.

Monga is edging closer to becoming the first major exit at Leicester with it understood that Arsenal are aiming to secure a deal for the 16-year-old. Talks are said to be underway with it suggested that the Gunners face paying in the region of £10m-£15m.
Ironically, the biggest asset for Leicester is our last one. Fatawu was wanted after his first season in England, he stayed with City before an injury put a stop to any talk of a move.

He started last season on fire and pulled off some wonderful goals. Talk of a late summer move fell quiet and there were fleeting concerns that a bigger club would land him in January.

Now, as a League One club, Leicester can't say no to his sale. Fatawu could cost anywhere between £20m and £40m, depending on his performance at the World Cup. The 22-year-old still has so much to learn but there's not many wingers like him and clubs will have taken notice of that.

Right now, around £25m would be a fair price. Anything less than that and there'd be an argument that Leicester have been schooled.

Someone's very optimistic

 

Leicester City can raise £83m from transfer sales this summer as brutal reset needed

 

Leicester City can raise £83m from transfer sales this summer as brutal reset needed
Story by Josh Holland

 

The summer transfer window will open on June 15 and the reset button will be pressed at Leicester City, if it hasn't already. Relegation to League One means the Foxes' squad will go through a much-needed shuffle between now and September.

Frustration among supporters has intensified as May ticked into June over the lack of movement in the window. The club have already confirmed a handful of first-team absentees in their released list, but any further deals have been very quiet.

 

The opening of the window is in just over a week and that means the flurry of announcements will come more frequently. Leicester's back-to-back relegations from the Premier League to the third tier means nearly every player will have question marks over their future.

Discussions between clubs will be stepped up. City's main issue is the uncertainty around their manager. It's understood that once the man in the dug-out is in place, the manager will know which players will be kept, which will be allowed to leave, and who will have no place in that manager's plan.

 

The Foxes will need to clear the gutter of wantaway players to allow youngsters to be bled in. Harry Winks' future does look bleak at the King Power Stadium, while Abdul Fatawu has Premier League interest and Jeremy Monga is being pursued by Arsenal.

But there are still a number of players whose future could be elsewhere and that will come into Sporting Director James McCarron's thinking when the squad overhaul is considered.

 

Jakub Stolacrzyk is no longer an up-and-coming goalkeeper at the age of 25. After coming in for Mads Hermansen in the Premier League, the Pole's last season in the Championship was littered with inconsistency - resulting in him being dropped to the bench by both Marti Cifuentes and Asmir Begovic.

With one year left on his deal, this summer presents a final chance to cash in on him. City have been linked with Sunderland's Matty Young already so it wouldn't be a surprise if Stolarczyk had interesting offers put on the table. A fee of around £4m is realistic for a goalkeeper with Championship experience.

Fran Vieites is one player who will be almost guaranteed to want a move after not playing a single minute for the club last season. The 27-year-old, though, won't cost much and could be an easy sell for City at around £500k.

 

Into defence and there's a number of players who could be sold. Caleb Okoli has been tentatively linked with a return to Italy for the past 12 months and at the age of 24, a season in the third tier of English football won't be on his agenda.
Fiorentina are reportedly keen on him after staying in Serie A last season. After costing £13m from Atalanta in 2024, Leicester could easily ask for £7m this summer due to his age and contract having three more years.

Harry Souttar, who played in the final two games of the season, will put himself in the shop window at the World Cup with Australia this summer. He still has admirers at Sheffield United with Chris Wilder back at the club after previously signing him on loan two years ago.
