🦊 No players signed 🦊 Nine out of contract next summer, including Vardy and Tielemans 🦊 Schmeichel gone 🦊 Fofana and Maddison wanted by others Leicester City are enduring a tricky summer - so are they stalling? stujames75 investigates
Whether Maddison or Fofana end up staying with the club or not, or Tielemans for that matter , there is no escaping it has been a peculiar summer for Leicester and Rodgers in particular, bearing in mind he had talked at one stage about five or six players coming in as part of a refresh. Instead, the Leicester manager has been dealt the same hand.
Earlier in the summer, Leicester chose not to take up the option to buy Ademola Lookman, who joined from Red Bull Leipzig last year on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move, and that proved to be a sign of things to come. As things stand, no departures or signings are close at the club., who both finished below Leicester in 2020 and 2021, have spent around £200m between them this summer strengthening their squads.
“What happens is that you have two fifth-placed finishes and then you qualify for European football, people think you have created a foundation for success, but for a club like ourselves, it may be the pinnacle. Because of resources and where others are at, it’s very difficult,” he said. “I think any manager would always want improvement in their squad, that’s only natural. And I felt that this was a time when we needed to improve. But it’s not the case. And I respect the club’s position,” Rodgers said at his press conference on Friday.
