Leicester City, under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, is on track for a speedy return to the Premier League after an impressive Championship tour. The team is poised to achieve a record points tally, making a top-flight comeback a near certainty. Players like Stephy Mavididi, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Mads Hermansen, and Kasey McAteer are providing an exciting core for the team, and new signings are expected to further strengthen their aspirations. Despite the team’s success, there are looming possibilities of high-profile departures as six players are set to become free agents in the summer of 2024.
Among those players, veteran Jamie Vardy, a Leicester City legend, may be moving on from the club. With his contract expiring and the team heading back to the Premier League, an extension seems unlikely. Nigerian midfielder Wilfred N’didi, who has not yet committed to a long-term future with the team, could also be leaving. Additionally, Belgian midfielder Dennis Praet and Marc Albrighton are also likely to depart as their contracts come to an end. Kelechi Iheanacho’s future is less clear, as there is hope of a new deal, but interest from other clubs could also play a role. Jannik Vestergaard, who has been a key player in Maresca’s defense, is also set for a potential move as his contract expires in the summer. His future is uncertain, with Anderlecht reportedly showing interest in acquiring his services.
