10 players will leave Leicester City this summer for contract expiration

According to Leicester City's official statement, 10 players, including their captain Ricardo Pereira, will leave the club this summer. 

Leicester City Official Announcement:

We can confirm that 10 Men’s First Team players will depart Leicester City Football Club upon the expiration of their contracts this summer.

Among those is captain Ricardo Pereira, who made 220 appearances for us across eight seasons since joining from Porto in his native Portugal in the summer of 2018.

Ricardo was part of the squads that won the 2021 Emirates FA Cup and the FA Community Shield later that same year. He also found the net 15 times from right-back – none more memorable than the late UEFA Conference League Quarter-Final winner away at PSV Eindhoven in 2022, as well as lifting the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship title.

Alongside Ricardo, strikers Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew, defender Jamaal Lascelles and Academy graduate Wanya Marçal will also leave us at the end of the season following the expiration of their contracts.

Goalkeeper Asmir Begović’s contract is also due to expire this summer, but he remains in discussions with us about the possibility of extending his stay at King Power Stadium.

In addition to those players, the loan spells of Jordan James, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Aribo, Dujuan Richards and Divine Mukasa will all end and see the players return to their parent clubs.
