Leicester City supporters may end up being extremely lucky this summer. That's because they could see one star kept because no release clause was put in his Foxes deal concerning relegation.
Worries
Leicester City's Blue Army fan base have several worries on their collective minds at present. First of all there is the rather ugly relegation to the Championship to contend with. Secondly, and very importantly, the Foxes face punishment from Profit and Sustainability mishaps or misdeeds.
This could lead to more financial problems and penalising from the Premier League. Not to mention Championship bosses possibly wishing to sanction the East Midlands outfit. Therefore the concern that City might perhaps make minimal or zero signings exists within the support.
Another problem on the mind of the Foxes faithful is the fact that their favourite players are likely to leave. When a side is demoted, the superior stars often exit immediately and unceremoniously. However, even though exceptional goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is on the wanted list and is likely to be transferred, another outstanding King Power asset may potentially remain on Filbert Way.
Will Leicester fans be lucky and see one star stay? It is claimed that Bilal El Khannouss does not have a release clause inserted in his contract. Neither will City reportedly allow him to leave without their price being met. What's the latest on the Moroccan playmaker?

El Khannouss is easily one of the best players at Leicester right now. In fact, he will probably become quite famous at quite a big club in the future. For now, LCFC could really do with keeping the former Genk man!
If El Khannouss can give us one more year, the club and its loyal followers would be ever so grateful. And that possibility appears more probable at present:
"The Foxes are reportedly holding firm on their asking price. Some reports suggest they’ve set the budget at around £40 million, leveraging his long contract and the absence of a relegation clause."EFL Analysis
