The January transfer window will be upon us before we know it. Most of us are going to be unwrapping Christmas presents soon enough as well - hopefully! Leicester City fans will invariably be hoping for a new player or two (only those who actually want to be here and are desperate to succeed like Jordan James, please!) under their trees too. Though we will have to wait until New Year, to be fair.

Although, unless the Foxes hierarchy and recruitment can source and secure some free transfer and/or loan signings - the Blue Army fan base could be, sadly, left wanting. However, ignoring what are essentially restrictions with regard to buying, it is still a plus point that this struggling club might perhaps capture anyone at all! Even if temporarily.

Yet in this particular article, the subject matter does not concern which footballers may eventually join the King Power team. No. On this occasion, we are assessing the personnel that could actually leave the East Midlands for good. That's because City possess one or two undesirable (or unwanted instead if I'm being kinder) professionals they could cash in on. In the meantime, expiring contracts are said to have expedited proceedings on Filbert Way.

Six Leicester players will be out of contract by July 2026. According to Leicester Mercury, three of them still command transfer fees. Those assets are comprised of: Boubakary Soumare, Patson Daka and Harry Winks.

Winks in particular remains a competent and somewhat accomplished individual. He could attain a reasonable fee.

"Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare and Patson Daka are all in their 20s and could still generate cash for the club."

Whereas Soumare and Daka would feasibly be worth something to the Leicestershire outfitas well. I'd obviously rather sell them than allow departures for nothing in the summer. Alternatively, City could offer fresh deals.
