Leicester’s Promotion Brings Financial Pressure: Star Player at Risk?
Despite securing a triumphant return to the Premier League, Leicester City could face a tough financial reality. Transfer expert Ben Jacobs suggests the Foxes may be forced to “cash in” on some of their stars.
One player in the spotlight is midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. While reports claim he has no desire to leave, the club’s financial situation might force their hand. Jacobs, speaking to GiveMeSport, explains:
“Leicester will need to sell players despite promotion. And someone like Dewsbury-Hall, who wouldn’t cost them much to sell on, could be a target for them to sacrifice, even if he doesn’t want to go.”
This scenario creates a dilemma for Leicester. They face the challenge of balancing their financial needs with keeping their star players who were instrumental in their promotion success.
