Another £15m star Leicester city player set to leave as Saudi Arabia transfer offer knocks hard

Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Jannik Vestergaard opens up about the summer transfer window and his future

Jannik Vestergaard has opened up about his decision to stay at Leicester City this season – and what the future holds for him.

Vestergaard had been widely expected to leave the King Power Stadium in the summer transfer window after the team were relegated from the Premier League. The Danish defender says he turned down an offer to join a club in Saudi Arabia as he opted to remain with the Foxes and fight for a place under new boss Enzo Maresca

The centre-back had been frozen out under previous manager Brendan Rodgers but has enjoyed a resurgence under Maresca. He has started 15 of Leicester’s 16 league fixtures so far and helped the team to the top of the Championship table.

His form has earned him a recall to the Denmark squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Slovenia and Northern Ireland. Who knows if that would have happened had he accepted a big-money move to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema – not to mention former Foxes Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante – in the Saudi Pro League
