An unwanted Leicester City player no longer has an option to go. The East Midlands team is reportedly interested in signing a Russian striker in the interim. With the announcement of the first Foxes friendly scheduled for July, Foxes of Leicester brings you the latest LCFC rumors, information, and opinions.
Leicester City is thinking about a free transfer.
Leicester’s manager, director of football, and recruitment staff always have a lot on their plates, even in the offseason like we are currently experiencing. Following decisions that are still pending, some contracts need to be renegotiate, others should be let to expire, and maybe one or two should be terminated. That’s just how the game is.
Regretfully, it is anticipated that one or more celebrities may leave the King Power club this summer. In order to turn a profit in preseason, LCFC has in the past allowed star players to depart for enormous transfer fees. In this case, Premier League Financial Fair Play (now known as PSRs) issues will force them to sell their best assets in the future.
The Foxes will still be on the lookout for any emerging jewels that the illustrious team can develop, as well as for some solid proven talent at a reasonable price. Leicester has ‘entered the race’ to sign Mohamed Konate from Russian Premier Liga team Akhmat Grozn, according to sources close to Football Insider.
Konate will be moving on to fresh pastures because his arrangement with the Russians is no longer enforceable. In the 2023–24 campaign, the Burkina Faso international contributed 12 goals to the score. Owing to the previously mentioned financial issues, a free signing—or five—would be perfect for the King Power. Brest and Lyon are supposedly City’s competitors for Konate’s signature.

City stars and Under-21s starlets will play local team Coalville Town to start with; the friendly will take place on Tuesday, July 23. More outings will be pencilled in for the Foxes and then surely announced very soon.
Daniel Iversen left in wilderness because Stoke decided to sign other stopper instead
Mainly due to the prowess and stability of Mads Hermansen, you would be excused for not realising that Leicester’s goalkeeping department was in a mess for the first half of the previous term. You see, City failed to offload Danny Ward or Daniel Iversen in 2023 so had five senior ‘keepers on their books to begin with. Now there’s an update on the latter:
