Leicester City's owners and executives cannot be proud of much in the modern era. Yet the amazing Seagrave training complex and its incredible stable of talent is a step above even many Premier League clubs' centres.
Credit where credit is due, in the words of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read; now back to the football. One major downside to this bounty is that City might not feel the on-field benefit of their crop of super-talented youngsters.
Financial concern and austerity measures mean LCFC must relinquish assets in order to thrive or even survive. Jeremy Monga's impending exit is one of the more difficult situations for the faithful to stomach.
Leicester City tribunal record possibility
Monga is, however, set to smash the historic £4.3 million Harvey Elliott tribunal record, guaranteeing a massive financial windfall for the cash-strapped East Midlanders. While the 16-year-old's transition to his first professional contract legally prevents a traditional bidding war, the sheer volume of elite interest has completely weaponised the valuation process.
With Arsenal, Manchester United, Man City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly in the chase, among others, journalists indicate that the Foxes' payout will skyrocket into the £10 million to £15m range. The independent panel cannot, by their own laws, ignore the intense, respectable multi-club competition vying for a potential superstar winger.
This allows the Leicestershire outfit to maximize extra profits through heavily incentivised add-ons as well, not to mention that extremes significant base fee. Should the under pressure King Power executives and recruitment chiefs manage to attain a profitable fee for Monga, it would possibly prevent further unpalatable sales too.
Ben Nelson, Bade Aluko and Louis Page are other wanted young Foxes, according to recent reports. Again, Man United rear their head. Nevertheless, LE2 club's ability to retain such talent remains the greatest challenge facing their long-term project.
