Leicester City considering move for Premier League winning defender

Leicester City are reportedly considering a move to re-sign Jeffrey Schlupp, a key member of their 2015-16 Premier League title-winning squad, according to Football Insider.

Schlupp, 32, is nearing the end of his contract with Crystal Palace and recently completed a loan spell at Celtic, where he contributed to their Scottish Premiership title victory.

His versatility makes him a crucial target for Leicester as the player has the capability to play as a full-back as well as a winger.

During the 2024–25 season, Schlupp made 33 appearances across all competitions for Palace and Celtic, recording one goal and one assist.

Leicester City are facing financial troubles

Financial considerations are also at play, as Leicester consider cost-effective signings amid budget constraints.

Following their relegation to the Championship, they are looking to make bargain signings this summer as their demotion to the second tier of England football has come with financial consequences for them.

A major squad reshuffle is underway at Leicester City as the club prepares for life back in the Championship, with multiple incomings and outgoings expected to be confirmed in the weeks ahead.

Big changes expected at King Power Stadium

The changes come in the wake of the emotional departure of club legend Jamie Vardy, whose exit marks the end of an era at the King Power Stadium.

With Leicester moving down to the Championship this season, some big changes are expected at the club not only in terms of players leaving the club but also a managerial change is highly likely.

Lee Carsley is one of the candidates to replace Ruud Van Nistelrooy at the club after this season.

Attacker Patson Daka is another player who is likely to be offloaded this summer by the newly relegated side.
