Leicester City plan to sell Abdul Fatawu this summer – and clubs may be able to sign him for £10m less than his asking price, it has been claimed.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, the Foxes are planning for life without the winger this summer as the club looks to trim its wage bill.
And Fatawu could be one contender to earn the Foxes some money after posting losses of £71m.
Nixon says that the Ghanaian attacker has a £30m buyout clause, but after a tough season, clubs may not take up that option.
However, a bid of £20m might be enough to tempt to Leicester to part company with the talented winger as Leicester continue their fight to avoid relegation.
Nixon reports that City are prepared for cutbacks whether they are successful in winning their relegation battle or not.
It comes after Leicester have recorded a significant loss of £71.1m for the 2024-25 season after their Premier League transfer expenditure failed to pay off.
The loss ranks as the third highest in City’s recent history, and it did not bring the hoped-for results, with the club relegated out of the Premier League.
However, while substantial, the loss is not expected to cause issues around Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), with the club having filed a compliant PSR submission for the season.

England and Nike have launched the new home, away and goalkeeper kits to be worn at this summer’s FIFA World Cup.
City received a six-point deduction for exceeding the loss limit for the three financial years ending in 2024.
The 2023 season saw them record a PSR loss of £63.8m but the 2024 season saw them post a PSR profit of £6.1m. It means that, once addbacks are included, City can post a PSR loss of £25.3m for these accounts, ending in 2025, and still meet the £83m loss threshold for the three years combined.
