Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca, has revealed that he is unfazed by the prospect of losing key players ahead of the return to the English Premier League, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Italian manager successfully guided the Foxes back to the Premier League after just a year following their unexpected relegation from top-flight football.

Maresca emphasized the need for Leicester City to compete strongly and avoid another surprise relegation in the upcoming season, highlighting the importance of bolstering their squad.

Two Nigerian players in the club, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi, have contracts expiring at the end of the season, with no indication of the club renewing Iheanacho’s contract.

Ndidi has reportedly attracted interest from La Liga sides Sevilla and Barcelona, as well as Turkish side Galatasaray, due to his impressive performances for the Foxes.

However, Maresca expressed a willingness to part ways with these key players for financial reasons, as long as the club can bring in suitable replacements.

Iheanacho has been linked with a move to join Aston Villa as a free agent, while Crystal Palace and Everton have also shown interest in signing the Nigerian attacker.
