They have added four new players to the club, but they must now try to unload their periphery players to create room for further incoming ads.
The Foxes have an overcrowded roster, and they cannot afford to enter the new season with it. According to the Leicester Mercury, selling marginal players such as Harry Souttar, Victor Kristiansen, Boubakary Soumare, and Patson Daka may generate up to £52 million in revenue.
The report states that Souttar could fetch around £10 million this summer and it will be interesting to see if Steve Cooper is ready to sanction his departure. His predecessor Enzo Maresca would have sold Souttar if he had stayed at the club.
Meanwhile, Kristiansen did not have a place under Maresca last season and he went out on loan with Bologna. It will be interesting to see if Leicester City are willing to sanction his departure for a fee of around £15 million.
Soumare was on loan at Sevilla last season and the Spanish club are reportedly keen on keeping him for the long term. A fee of around £10 million has been mentioned and it remains to be seen whether the Spanish outfit are ready to pay up.
The midfielder will want to continue in La Liga after having impressed with them.
Finally, Daka has had a difficult time at Leicester City this past season and it is time for the Foxes to move him on and bring him an upgrade.
The attacker is reportedly valued at around £12 million. It remains to be seen whether Leicester can get rid of their fringe players in the coming weeks and improve their squad adequately before the new season begins.
