adminLeicester City are ready to part ways with one of their star players who his adored by the fans. The winger, who has a £30 million release clause, could now be available for a bargain following the club’s reported £71.1 million loss for the 2024–25 season.
The loss, one of the largest in the club’s recent history, stems largely from heavy spending on player transfers and wages during Leicester’s Premier League stint an investment that failed to deliver the expected results.
Instead of pushing forward, the team struggled on the pitch and ultimately suffered relegation, cutting income from TV rights, competitions, and other revenue streams.
Now, Leicester are preparing to trim costs across the board. Reducing the wage bill and selling key players are part of the plan, and Abdul Fatawu is reportedly one of the first to be considered for a move.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, the Foxes are preparing for life without the Ghanaian attacker.
While Fatawu’s £30 million buyout clause remains in place, clubs may be hesitant to meet that valuation after a difficult season.
However, a bid of around £20 million could be enough to convince Leicester to part ways with the talented winger, giving their fiercest rivals, Nottingham Forest who are competing in the English top tier the opportunity to snatch him from the King Power Stadium powerhouse.
The club is ready to make these financial cutbacks regardless of whether they manage to survive relegation or not. Despite the scale of the loss, Leicester are not expected to face issues with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), having submitted a compliant report for the season.
Still, the financial reality signals a careful balancing act ahead: rebuilding the squad, stabilizing finances, and remaining competitive on the pitch.
