A mass exodus is not merely expected at King Power Stadium this summer - it is mandatory. Leicester City must balance their books; whilst introducing a new culture or a return to past, more productive ways. A demoralising demotion and a regretful relegation can always be turned into an optimistic opportunity if managed well.

However, the final point is most telling here, more than finances: the management must be appropriate; the board must improve and change its counterproductive approach. If not, it is doom, or more heartbreak for Foxes fans at least.

Which Foxes are soon set to leave Leicester City?

Reverting back to which players could leave, a few stand out. Jordan James is surely more likely to be in the Premier League than League One next season; admiration galore exists for the Welsh starlet, who has been a rare beacon in an otherwise calamitously catastrophic campaign.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United wish to add just a mere three of LCFC's personnel, with Harry Souttar and Hamza Choudhury reportedly figuring in a potential Bramall Lane raid. Naturally James is probably on their wishlist too.

If Leicester only sell one footballer (more will ultimately be transferred, in all seriousness) - please let it be the disgraceful Harry Winks! Another man set to depart Filbert Way is Caleb Okoli.

Following the LE2 club's catastrophic descent, Okoli’s wages dictate that he cannot really stay. An arguable blessing in disguise!

Recent reports suggest a return to Serie A is favoured and imminent; with Torino, Bologna and AC Milan purportedly circling the defender. The Italian probably also considers himself a viable starter in one of Europe's top-five divisions: an exhausting mirage of a delusion.

"Caleb Okoli’s future appears increasingly likely to be away from English football. Following Leicester City’s dramatic relegation to League One, the Italian-Nigerian center-back has expressed his desire to return to Italy’s Serie A."

Here is the latest on the inconsistent centre back: despite a long-term contract until 2030, the financial guillotine of the third tier necessitates his removal. Okoli's tenure, marred by the erraticism that defined this era, concludes not with a flourish - but a retreat.
