Only one decade ago, Leicester City Football Club realized an historic ambition by lifting England's top-flight trophy, a feat of sporting alchemy that stunned the global game. Only a mere five years back, the Foxes secured a maiden FA Cup triumph, fulfilling the dreams of their faithful supporters in truly spectacular fashion at Wembley.
The subsequent seasons, however, proved a calamitous descent into purgatory for the once-crowned champions. After suffering a bitter relegation to the English Football League Championship, the Leicestershire side bounced back under the guidance of the astute Enzo Maresca (who may be Manchester City bound), yet the volatile cycle of failure cruelly repeated itself to leave the team languishing in the depths of the third tier.
It is a peculiar melancholy for the Blue Army to witness their former favourites flourishing for external teams elsewhere in the Premier League. Youri Tielemans remains a standout figure for Midlands rivals Aston Villa, and while his departure stung, most LCFC supporters acknowledge his professional grace with begrudging respect.
Will former Leicester City man Harvey Barnes's valuation be a potential sticking point?
​Indeed, the Villans have etched their own history of late, securing a triumphant return to the UEFA Champions League and even clinching the Europa League crown this very week. Under the masterful direction of Unai Emery, Villa now ostensibly seek to augment their attacking arsenal with yet another familiar face from the Filbert Way archives.

Aston Villa are keen on adding Barnes to their squad"
​Harvey Barnes has endured a somewhat fragmented tenure at Newcastle United, frequently stifled by the rotational whims of overhyped manager Eddie Howe. Despite this lack of consistent opportunity, the lethal winger has posted impressive statistics, and the Lions of Birmingham are reportedly prepared to pounce. With a valuation above his original transfer fee, the stage may not be set for a potential return to regional roots to bolster a growing European powerhouse.
