Leicester City Facing Major Summer Shake-Up as Wout Faes’ Future Hangs in the Balance

Leicester City are bracing for a pivotal summer as they prepare to overhaul their first-team squad ahead of their return to the Championship.

With just two matches left in the Premier League season, the Foxes are guaranteed no better than an 18th-place finish, confirming their relegation to the second tier.

As the club transitions to life outside the top flight, a number of difficult decisions will need to be made, particularly regarding players who are on Premier League-level wages or who may be unwilling to continue at the club following relegation.

A summer of significant activity—both incoming and outgoing—is widely expected at the King Power Stadium.

One player who could be part of that turnover is Belgian centre-back Wout Faes. There has been ongoing debate among supporters about whether the defender should remain at the club or be sold to raise funds and reduce the wage bill.

Leicester City fan pundit Louchlainn Martin weighed in on the topic when asked whether Faes should be kept or cashed in on this summer.

“Wout Faes has definitely divided opinion among Leicester fans,” he said. “A lot of supporters are ready to see him move on.”

Faes was initially brought in as a replacement for Wesley Fofana and was expected to emerge as a defensive leader for the team.

However, his stint at Leicester has been mixed, and he has now been part of two relegated squads during his time at the club.

Martin added: “He had a brilliant season in the Championship last year, and I don’t doubt he could replicate that form again. But for the Premier League, he just doesn’t seem to have the quality.

His performances have shown he’s reached his ceiling. Maybe with a stronger backline around him, he’d fare better, but personally, I think his time is up.”

Transfer rumors have swirled around Faes for months, and this summer could finally mark his departure.

Martin suggested that a move abroad is most likely. “I can’t see a Premier League club going for him.

I think he’ll want to stay in contention for the Belgium national team, so a move to Europe—Spain, Germany, maybe back to France—seems more realistic.”

Faes’ contract situation further complicates matters. Signed from French club Reims in 2022 for a reported £15 million, he inked a five-year deal that ties him to Leicester until the summer of 2027.

While this gives the club some leverage in terms of a transfer fee, it also puts pressure on them to act if he no longer fits their plans.

What could accelerate Faes’ potential exit is his salary. According to Capology’s estimates, the 27-year-old earns around £50,000 per week.

That figure is considerable for a Championship club and makes Faes one of the higher earners in the squad—an issue Leicester may want to address quickly as they restructure their finances for life in the second tier.

While Faes did play a key role in helping the Foxes secure the Championship title under Enzo Maresca last season—making 43 appearances and forming a vital part of the team—his latest campaign in the Premier League has been underwhelming, further adding to doubts about his long-term suitability.

In conclusion, Leicester City appear set for a busy and transformative transfer window, and Wout Faes could be one of several high-profile names on the chopping block.

Whether they opt to sell due to his form, wages, or both, it’s clear that his future at the King Power Stadium is far from certain.
