adminLeicester City are entering one of the most difficult chapters in the club’s modern history after suffering back-to-back relegations that have taken them from the Premier League to League One in just two years.
The Foxes, who famously won the Premier League title in 2016, are now focused on rebuilding under new manager Russell Martin. With a major squad overhaul already underway, Leicester are reshaping their team in preparation for the 2026/27 season, with the aim of returning to the Championship as quickly as possible.
The summer transfer window has brought significant changes at the King Power Stadium. Experienced players including Ricardo Pereira, Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka and Jamaal Lascelles have all departed following the expiration of their contracts, while midfielder Bilal El Khannouss has also completed a permanent move away from the club.
Now, Leicester have sanctioned another major departure as one of the brightest young talents in English football prepares to continue his development elsewhere.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that 16-year-old winger Jeremy Monga is set to join Manchester City after the two clubs reached a full agreement.
According to Romano, Manchester City have agreed a deal worth a total package of £10 million, with both Leicester City and the player’s representatives giving the green light for the transfer.
The move comes after weeks of negotiations, with Arsenal also making a strong attempt to sign the teenage sensation. However, the Gunners were unable to reach a breakthrough, allowing Manchester City to win the race for one of England’s most exciting young prospects.
Romano also revealed that Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca, who previously worked at Leicester City, played an important role in convincing Monga to choose the Premier League champions. Maresca reportedly presented the youngster with a clear long-term development plan, which proved decisive in completing the transfer.
The sale represents another significant moment in Leicester’s rebuilding process. While losing one of the country’s most highly rated academy graduates will disappoint supporters, the £10 million package provides valuable funds that can be reinvested into Russell Martin’s squad as the Foxes prepare for life in League One.
Leicester’s focus will now turn to strengthening the squad ahead of the new season. The club’s objective remains an immediate return to the Championship, and the coming weeks are expected to be busy as Martin continues to reshape his team.
