According to reports, King Power are hoping to renegotiate contracts with Airports of Thailand in a bid to save the profitability of their once lucrative duty-free operation. King Power are said to have suffered a significant downturn in their duty-free business because of a reduction in tourism to Thailand.

Faes is a contender to leave City this summer having attracted reported interest from the likes of Lazio over the past six months. And it has been reported in his native Belgium that his continued involvement in the national set-up is dependent on him earning a transfer.

Leicester City managerial favourite Russell Martin is the new Rangers boss, taking him off the market should Ruud van Nistelrooy be sacked. Just over a week ago, widespread reports suggested van Nistelrooy was on the verge of losing his job at City and that former Southampton manager Martin was on course to take his place.

If City do not envisage them representing the club into the future, then they either have to sell them this summer or utilise them for one more season before letting them go on a free transfer.

In the week before Leicester City’s last Championship campaign began, Enzo Maresca claimed six players had had a change of heart over their futures. The half-dozen had signalled their intent to leave the King Power Stadium at the start of the summer, but after a month of working with the Italian had told him of their desire to stay. Maresca turned down the opportunity to name the City players and so the claim was his word alone, but it doesn’t feel far-fetched with what followed after.
