Report: Ruud van Nistelrooy May Leave Leicester City This Month Amid Shocking Revelation

Leicester City have slipped into the relegation zone following five consecutive defeats, raising concerns about their potential breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations for the 2023/24 season.

If found guilty, the club could face a points deduction, leaving everyone at the King Power Stadium anxiously awaiting the Premier League’s verdict, which could be announced as early as Monday.

Despite these financial concerns, Leicester are expected to strengthen their squad during this month’s transfer window, as any signings would not impact the accounting year under scrutiny.

However, eight days into the window, the transfer market remains quiet for the Foxes, and a surprising revelation has surfaced regarding manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy Could Leave Without Backing

Leicester’s survival in the Premier League depends on securing reinforcements this month.

Failure to do so could result in relegation, which might prompt severe penalties from the EFL for previous financial breaches.

While rivals Ipswich Town and Wolves have been active in the transfer market, Leicester have yet to make any moves.

According to The Athletic, van Nistelrooy could consider leaving the club if he isn’t backed in the market.

The Dutchman has a history of walking away when feeling unsupported, as seen during his tenure at PSV.

Leicester’s Key Targets: A Winger and Centre-Back

Leicester urgently need reinforcements, particularly on the wings and in central defense.

The team has lacked width and creativity since Abdul Fatawu’s ACL injury, which has ruled him out for the season.

Defensively, the pairing of Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard has proven inadequate, with both players lacking the pace and athleticism needed for the Premier League.

Addressing these issues is critical if Leicester hope to climb out of the relegation zone and secure their top-flight status.
