The senior section roster of Leicester City Football Club has already been altered before now. The East Midlanders announced that 10 professionals are leaving, though that number includes expiring loans.
Along with them, youth prospects are at risk of being sold, wishing to jump ship, or being courted by external teams. This negative possibility has always been one of the main aspects of the summer troubling the LE2 club's Blue Army support.
​In a paradoxical situation, now-third tier City are actually one of the best producers of English youth at present (shocking, yes). An alternative phrase would be that the King Power side certainly has many promising future footballers already featuring for their respective nations.
Sadly, any one of these youthful Leicester ballers could potentially be tapped up or even snatched away while the organisation remains in transitional turmoil. Anxiety permeates Filbert Way.
Which Leicester City starlets are going to leave this offseason?
Jeremy Monga will likely be sold; most fans have come to terms with that, as the hypothetical sale is seemingly necessary. Ben Nelson could be poached too, with Manchester United reportedly keen on securing his services.
Louis Page is another on the Red Devils' wishlist, apparently along with Bade Aluko. Yet it is clear that City must retain some or most of these youthful players for their own strength as well as quality.
Even 15-year-old Darren Motsi, who is already considered the next Monga in effect, might be targeted by predatory clubs eyeing footballing ascension. Reports suggest that the highly-regarded attacking midfielder has already chosen Liverpool, further exacerbating the sense of inevitable attrition.
"According to a report from academy football analyst OleKristofferE on X, posted in the early hours of Sunday morning, Liverpool have won the race for 15-year-old Darren Motsi, with the teenager having made his decision.MSN.com
The source was unambiguous, “Darren Motsi, one of the country’s biggest talents, has chosen Liverpool. An enormous coup for the club. They’re very pleased with this one."
The Reds are said to be 'very pleased' with that one. Meanwhile LCFC face a precarious summer, balancing the need for necessary capital against the urgent requirement to preserve the academy's glittering, albeit fragile, future.
