adminLeicester City FC are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as they continue restructuring their squad following a difficult season and financial pressure after relegation.
The club is expected to focus on player sales as part of their rebuild, with several first-team players either already leaving or attracting interest from abroad.
One of the main priorities will be balancing the squad while also generating funds to strengthen key areas ahead of the new campaign.
Leicester’s recent recruitment and squad changes have left several positions under review, and the club is now actively evaluating long-term departures as part of their reset strategy.
One of the players at the centre of this situation is Wout Faes.
Faes, who joined Leicester from Stade de Reims in 2022, is currently on loan at AS Monaco, where he has impressed since arriving in January.
The Belgian centre-back has become a regular starter in Ligue 1 and has played a key role in helping Monaco remain competitive at the top end of the table. His consistent performances have reportedly convinced the French club to consider making the move permanent.
According to reports, Monaco have now opened talks with Faes’ representatives over a summer transfer, with discussions centred around activating the option-to-buy clause in his loan deal.
Faes still has one year remaining on his Leicester contract, meaning this summer represents the club’s final opportunity to secure a transfer fee for him if a permanent move is completed.
Leicester are expected to sanction departures as part of their wider squad overhaul, and Faes is now firmly among the players likely to leave the King Power Stadium permanently.
If Monaco do not complete the deal, Leicester are still expected to listen to offers from other interested clubs during the transfer window.
