One thing I can testify to is that it's never boring covering Leicester City Football Club! Never a dull moment; even if there are some painful instances to suffer through. At the moment, focus is mostly on which Foxes will leave the side over the summer. These possibilities lead to worry within the fan base, naturally. City are even are at risk of having no choice but to relinquish one or two star players. It's sad, but we must be realistic. Leicester are known to re-sign quality footballers as well as developing their own competent professionals. So I wouldn't worry too much, LCFC fans.
However, today's article actually concerns potential new arrivals at King Power Stadium. If Mads Hermansen does indeed exit for a Premier League team, a backup goalkeeper may be required to keep Jakub Stolarczyk on his toes. Of course, understudy goalies Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen have already exited the Leicestershire outfit. Iversen will join Preston North End very soon. While Ward is without a footballing home at present.
Very promising playmaker Bilal El Khannouss could be sold to a big side such as Arsenal or Manchester United, not to mention smaller club Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that eventuality, LCFC will need further creativity; an area lacking before now. Centre back Wout Faes is another possibly on his way out of the East Midlands. Many supporters will be pleased to hear that update, no doubt.
Should the Belgium international go, Leicester will be missing a starting centre half. Could a replacement materialise in the form of Brazilian flair and muscle? An interesting Foxes transfer rumour is circulating at present. Who is this South American defender City are said to be targeting?
Flamengo’s Cleiton to Leicester City?
Let's hear more about Leicester's supposed eyeing of 22-year-old Cleiton from Sport Witness following reports from South America:
"The defender initially joined the Brazilian club’s youth system from Canaã in 2020 and had to wait for two more years until he made his senior team debut.
Since then, the 22-year-old made a handful of appearances for Flamengo’s first team. To put it in context, he’s played 1,216 minutes from 19 games, of which five are from 2025. Despite this, the centre-back has managed to attract interest from Leicester City. Flazoeiro took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report on the Foxes and Dynamo Kiev efforts to try and sign him."
