When Jeremy Monga inevitably leaves Leicester City, probably during the coming summer, he will secure the LE2 club a decent fee. The apparent approximate figure won't be what he is truly worth to the ultra-significant teams targeting him (literally and generally the world's foremost sides, if reporting is accurate).
However, due to one rare piece of prudent business conducted by LCFC in recent years, Monga will bring a fee and won't be stolen for nothing. As The Athletic's Rob Tanner divulged, the youthful baller signed an agreement which automatically turns professional upon his 17th birthday. Though he will most likely choose to depart Filbert Way.
Where will Leicester City prospect Jeremy Monga end up?
Regarding the winger's probable destination, well, Manchester United have supposedly opened discussions with the Foxes for Monga. This interest has been amplified by the apparent tactical maneuvering of Jason Wilcox, who has reportedly engaged in dialogue with domestic counterparts to navigate the complexities of such a high-profile yet fledgling acquisition.

Manchester City have also held talks with Leicester, specifically surrounding Monga"
Arsenal have also ostensibly identified Monga as a prime target to bolster their ranks, viewing the precocious 16-year-old as a cornerstone for their long-term offensive evolution. Meanwhile Manchester City have held talks with the Leicestershire outfit on the subject as well; intent on ensuring their hegemony over elite talent remains unchallenged.
​The landscape is one of intense posturing and sophisticated recruitment strategies. If the Gunners are serious, this writer can envisage the teenage phenomenon flourishing within the meticulous structure of North London. If not, Manchester United appears a more plausible destination than City, given the current trajectory of their youth integration and the direct involvement of their high-level executive staff.
Cost
Ultimately, while Leicester may lose a stunning prospect, they have at least ensured that his departure will not be a silent exit. A substantial transaction of between £10-£12 million is mooted.
