When every Leicester City player’s contract expires and what happens next
A closer look at every senior Leicester City squad member’s contract expiry date with 15 players’ deals due to run out at the end of this season or end of next season
Managing contracts is an essential part of squad-building and it’s not something Leicester City appear to have done particularly well in recent years.
They’ve seen lots of potentially money-making players leave on a free, rather than for a fee, while they’ve had unwanted players ticking down their deals at the club because they were handed long contracts.
Contracts won’t be top of the agenda amid City’s relegation battle, but it will be a big concern come the summer. Here’s where the club stand on each player’s deal.
Jamie Vardy, Daniel Iversen, Danny Ward, Odsonne Edouard, Facundo Buonanotte
Jamie Vardy’s form this season has been good enough in patches that a new one-year deal to take him into a season where he will turn 39 does not seem out of the question.
The captain does not have plans to retire and Ruud van Nistelrooy has praised the way he cares for himself. But can City afford to keep him, either in the Premier League or in the Championship, if he’s not quite delivering what he once was? It will be the big debate come the end of May.
