JUST IN 🚨- Leicester City Ready To Sell First-Team Flop To English Rivals In £7m Deal

Leicester City fans are preparing themselves for what could be another painful summer at the King Power Stadium following a season that ended in frustration, disappointment, and relegation.

After watching the club struggle throughout the campaign, supporters now fear the rebuild could come with even more difficult decisions in the transfer market.

There is already growing uncertainty surrounding several first-team players as Leicester look to reduce costs and reshape the squad ahead of life back in the Championship.

While some fans accept that changes are necessary after such a poor season, others are becoming increasingly frustrated at the thought of seeing more familiar faces leave before the club has properly started rebuilding.

The mood around the fanbase has become divided. Some supporters believe fresh departures could help Leicester recover financially and start a new chapter, while others worry the club could lose too much experience and attacking quality in a short space of time.

With rumours continuing to spread, attention has now turned toward one player whose future appears increasingly uncertain.

Stephy Mavididi is reportedly attracting serious interest from Championship rivals Watford, with the winger believed to be open to the move this summer. According to reports, the Hornets are prepared to meet Leicester City’s £7 million valuation as they push to strengthen their squad ahead of another promotion challenge.

Sources close to the situation claim Mavididi is interested in the opportunity at Vicarage Road, while Leicester are willing to sanction a sale if their asking price is met.

After suffering relegation from the Premier League, Leicester are expected to make major changes to the squad as they attempt to balance finances and rebuild under new leadership. Mavididi, who joined from Montpellier in 2023, struggled to consistently make an impact in the top flight despite making 33 league appearances during the campaign.

Watford, meanwhile, view the 27-year-old as an important addition to their attacking options. The club has already started making moves in the transfer market and sees Mavididi’s Championship experience as a major advantage.

Before arriving at Leicester, Mavididi developed through Arsenal’s academy before rebuilding his reputation in France with Montpellier. His pace, direct style of play, and versatility made him one of Leicester’s standout performers during their promotion-winning Championship season, where he scored 12 goals in 44 appearances.

However, the step back up to the Premier League proved far more difficult, with the winger managing just three league goals as Leicester endured a disastrous return to the top flight.

A move back to the Championship could now offer Mavididi the chance to rediscover his best form, while Leicester would secure a respectable fee for a player they signed for around £6 million.

For Watford, landing a player with both Premier League and Championship experience could prove to be a major statement ahead of next season’s promotion race.

With both clubs seemingly open to reaching an agreement, negotiations are expected to progress quickly over the coming days.
