Leicester star in ‘most difficult position’ – Long-term contract means he could be stuck with Foxes in Championship

Leicester City were one of the clubs to get relegated from the Premier League during the 2022/23 season.

The Foxes sealed a 2-1 win over West Ham United in the last league tie but still finished two points behind 17th placed Everton.

Leicester’s latest setback means several of their players have to sort out their futures in the next window. Het Nieuwsblad focuses on four Belgian players, including Wout Faes, who arrived at the King Power Stadium from Stade de Reims last summer.

The centre-back has been a regular, making 39 appearances in his first season in England. It’s claimed the 25-year-old star is in the ‘most difficult position’ because of his contract, which expires in 2027.

The time left on his deal wouldn’t make it easy for the Belgium international to find a new club and may have to settle for the Championship with Leicester next season.

The other three players are Youri Tielemans [contract expiring in June], Timothy Castagne and Dennis Praet. The latter two could look for a way out of Leicester in the summer, with the first simply walking away from King Power Stadium.
