Skipp, De Cordova-Reid & Golding may leave in Leicester fire sale
Leicester City are prepared to offload almost their entire first-team squad this summer in what sources describe as a desperate 'fire sale' driven by deep financial turmoil and the LE2 club's owners actively putting the organ up for sale. Restricted to low-cost, free or loan signings alone, the Foxes' transfer strategy appears shaped by years of mismanagement under King Power rather than long-term planning, as Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha seeks to extract as much value as possible before stepping away.
This latest report from Football Insider is set to deepen the anger of the Blue Army, who have already endured a traumatic relegation to League One amidst their side slide down the English football pyramid. Fans had reluctantly accepted the high-profile departures of Jeremy Monga and Abdul Fatawu earlier in the window, viewing those sales as painful but necessary steps to stabilise LCFC's finances and comply with regulations.
Yet the revelation that every first-team player is now available to purchase, including some of the most promising young talents, will cross a line for many supporters who feel the institution is being stripped bare for quick cash. There are growing calls for scrutiny of the owner's actions, with fears Aiyawatt (Top) Srivaddhanaprabha is prioritising personal financial recovery over protecting the future of a club that once stood as one of football's greatest underdogs.
Before Saturday's disappointing draw with Notts County, manager Russell Martin confirmed that Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes were missing from the squad because transfer moves were likely. This signalled the scale of the exodus underway at King Power Stadium.
Meanwhile interest in highly-rated teenager Louis Page continues to mount, with Manchester United and Arsenal both linked. While both established internationals Harry Souttar and Caleb Okoli may respectively depart before the transfer window closes.
Leicester City are set for a "fire sale" of all of their first-team stars in the final weeks of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider. F.I.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid is another name being lined up for an exit, and his departure would come with little shock given his underwhelming start to the campaign in a makeshift role up front. The Jamaica international has yet to find the net in two matches, one at League One level and the other versus League Two opposition; no professionals are safe in Leicestershire right now!
