Leicester bid farewell to 7 pillars due to relegation

On June 5, Leicester confirmed seven players will leave on a free basis after the contract expires. This is the expected result, because the club cannot stay in the Premier League. These seven include: Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete.

"Leicester thanks the seven players for their contributions during their time at the club. We wish them every success in the next stage of their careers," the King Power Stadium team announced.

These are all players who have proven their ability in the English Premier League and are sought after by many clubs. Prominent among these is Belgian midfielder Tielemans - who scored the only goal to help Leicester defeat Chelsea in the 2020-2021 FA Cup final. He is likely to join a club at the top of the English Premier League.

Turkish midfielder Soyuncu is likely to come to La Liga to play. Some sources claim he has agreed to join Atletico Madrid. Bertrand, who won the 2011-2012 Champions League with Chelsea, is leaving once again on a free transfer, as he moved to Leicester two years ago from Southampton.

Tete just joined Leicester in January and will return to his old club Shakhtar Donetsk. Perez wore Real Betis in La Liga in the second half of last season on loan. After 114 appearances for Leicester, the Spaniard scored 15 goals and contributed 12 assists.

Leicester have activated a clause to keep midfielder Hamza Choudhury for another year and are negotiating a contract extension with captain Jonny Evans.

Under the guidance of coach Dean Smith, Leicester finished the Premier League 2022-2023 in 18th place and had to bid farewell to the tournament they had won in 2016. This is a disproportionate outcome to the club's ambitions and forces. own. Leicester aim to win tickets back to the Premier League next season.
