Full list of 13 Leicester City decisions awaiting Enzo Maresca before the summer transfer window

Leicester City’s squad and their respective contract statuses with a host of decisions soon to come for Enzo Maresca

Like with every club up and down the land, and at every level, there are decisions regarding personnel within the squad to be made when Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca reflects on this season. There is work to be done still, of course, to secure that immediate return to the Premier League – especially considering the recent rampant form of rivals Leeds United and Ipswich Town, which have closed the gap.

Ahead of the summer, though, there are calls which will need to be made, in the near future. It was hoped that City being so dominant this year would’ve led to an earlier confirmation of which division they’d be in next year, and that on-field dominance would’ve brought contractual clarity. That was certainly something Maresca was aiming for, although clearly the run-in now takes priority over all else.

The decisions awaiting, however, concern those on loan, and whether or not City pursue permanent deals, while there are also half a dozen very experienced and high profile names who are currently in the final months of their respective agreements with the club. There are four players, too, returning from their respective loan spells. For a number of others, they’ve reached that 18-months-left stage where those situations could do with being addressed, too.

Here is how the Foxes’ squad looks based on their respective contract statuses.

2024 – loanees

Callum Doyle (Manchester City), Abdul Fatawu (Sporting Lisbon), Yunus Akgun (Galatasaray, obligation to buy if conditions are met)

The former pair especially have been huge additions to this so-far successful campaign. Fatawu in particular, you’d think, has a strong possibility of returning on a permanent basis, but Maresca has said recently they’ll discuss that down the line. Galatasaray, meanwhile, claimed when announcing Akgun had joined that Leicester would be obliged to sign him permanently if certain conditions were met.
