Is this the first Leicester player to jump a sinking ship? | OneFootball

This coming summer is going to be a testing one for Leicester City Football Club. In fact, the entire 2025/26 season down in the Championship could be tougher than the previous one in 2023/24. The Foxes were under the guidance of current Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca at that time. The Italian guided the East Midlands side straight back up to the Premier League. Some onlookers and fans don't expect such a simply ride for the King Power team on this occasion.

Others believe LCFC will enjoy another direct route to the English top flight from the depths of the second division once again. I must say, at the moment nobody is correct: whoever is Leicester's head coach will dictate our forecast there. Actually, a combination of that element along with which star players remain Foxes are possibly the most important factors.

Having said that, we must also wait to learn what points penalties City incur due to the still ongoing Profit and Sustainability problems. This could also mean few or no new signings transpire again. Great! But let's get back to the contemporary and overall unsatisfactory squad for a moment. That's because the hearsay states a prominent Leicester midfielder is angling to leave the roster before the new term even begins. Is this the first City footballer to jump a sinking ship after EPL relegation?

What's the rumour regarding Leicester City's Boubakary Soumare?

Soumare valiantly won his place back at LCFC this season. However, in spite of not being one of the worst performers, he still could have done a lot better.

Word is that Soumare, as well as his entourage, have been 'paying close attention to the transfer market' since City's demotion to tier two. It's a shame to hear, but there's minimal loyalty in this sport. It wouldn't be the end of the world if he's sold.
