Confirmation that Leicester star wants to leave is bitter blow

Leicester City fans have just received the confirmation that one of their star players wants to leave. The latest bitter blows for the East Midlanders will be hard to take, of course. It will be hard for the Foxes to immediately replace the man in question. However, most of the Blue Army will have been expecting one or more of their premium assets to depart the club for obvious reasons.

In addition to those factors, generating funds and balancing the books is a must on Filbert Way. So who is this mystery Fox now set to exit a troubled King Power Stadium? What is his apparent transfer valuation? And do we agree with what is said to be taking place or imminent? Here is the latest from Filbert Way

Which ballers likely to leave Leicester City?

First of all, City will probably lose up to three if not more of their best or most valuable assets this summer. The two that come to mind are Mads Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss.

Even talented winger Stephy Mavididi reportedly has interest from Serie A in Italy. Furthermore, a few other lesser rated or less well-known LCFC professionals will also probably be out of the door as well. Although this article concerns arguably the most highly regarded current Fox.

A bitter blow for Foxes who now have confirmation that their star players wants to leave

It’s always a hard one to take when Leicester typically sell one of their best players over the offseason. And those in demand footballers often actually imply that they’d like to go, to our annoyance. Label the behaviour disloyalty if you like, I won’t stop you.

He wants to leave

On this occasion, the news is less of a shock considering the Foxes were predictably relegated with a whimper. So I’m sure the majority of Leicester’s Blue Army fan base are expecting to read the above and below quote from a widely followed journalist:

The latest Derby County transfer gossip as Andi Weimann’s former team-mate posts social media message

Seven years since he left Andi Weimann is back at Derby County and enjoying resuming his Rams career.

The 33-year-old, one of four summer transfers made by John Eustace, did not play in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Matlock Town but has made the trip to Austria for the pre-season camp.

He could play for the first time against Red Bull Salzburg on Friday evening – but has clearly already settled in and is looking forward to adding to the 88 appearances and nine goals he racked up between 2015-18.

The Austrian, who joined from Blackburn, has taken to social media to reveal his feelings about being back, posting pictures on his Instagram account and saying ‘Felt good to be out there with the boys for the first time’.

Intriguingly one of the players to respond was former Rovers team-mate Tyrhys Dolan who replied ‘Absolute Baller’.

Normally such things might have no significance at all – indeed this one might not – but it has certainly caught the eye of Rams fans who are aware of the fact the 23-year-old has been linked with a transfer to Pride Park. One replied ‘come and join him then!’.

Dolan is currently a free agent having turned down Rovers’ offer of a new contract and has told his former employers he won’t be returning.

Reports say the midfielder has offers from overseas as well as strong interest from Championship clubs. Whilst he is a free agent, any English team signing him would owe Rovers compensation after they signed him as an 18-year-old.
