SHOCKING! Marti Cifuentes’ DESPERATE Leicester Transfer BEG Gets JAW-DROPPING YES – Then King Power Stadium EXPLODES in INSANE Response That’ll Leave You SPEECHLESS!

Leicester City strengthen under Marti Cifuentes with key additions ahead of 2025/26 campaign

Leicester City wrapped up the summer transfer window in a far stronger position than many had anticipated just weeks earlier.

 

On deadline day, Marti Cifuentes secured three signings that addressed key weaknesses in his squad, shifting the outlook for the season.

 

Julian Carranza’s arrival from Feyenoord on loan, with an option to buy, finally provides the new striker fans had long demanded.

 

The Argentine forward joins the growing list of compatriots to represent City, hoping to follow in the footsteps of successful figures like Leonardo Ulloa and Esteban Cambiasso.

 

Jordan James, signed from Rennes on a similar loan-to-buy deal, adds Championship experience to the midfield, while Jacob Ramsey’s switch from Burnley offers a timely replacement for Bilal El Khannouss, who left for Stuttgart.

 

It may have come late, but Leicester managed to secure the reinforcements they needed.

Since Cifuentes took charge, seven senior players have departed, generating close to £50 million in transfer fees. With El Khannouss’ move including an obligation to buy, that figure is set to rise further within a year.

 

Some exits were expected—such as speculation surrounding Mads Hermansen and Wilfred Ndidi—while others, like Kasey McAteer, James Justin, and Conor Coady, were more surprising.

 

Even with Cifuentes’ intention to slim down an oversized squad, there was concern that Leicester might weaken themselves in vital areas. The situation was compounded by earlier departures, including the exit of Jamie Vardy.

 

Losing their top scorer from nine of the past ten seasons left the club without a proven striker and created uncertainty among supporters.

 

Still, the recruitment team deserves credit for navigating a tricky market. Not only have they reduced the wage bill by millions, but they have also raised respectable fees for departures while landing three players expected to play significant roles. Importantly, no permanent transfer fees have yet been paid.

 

All of Monday’s signings arrived on loan, with purchase options deferred to the next financial year, limiting immediate financial strain.

 

Looking at the squad now, Leicester appear equipped to compete for promotion.

 

Their record of three wins from four league matches, despite not yet hitting top form, underlines the potential within the group.

 

However, not all is flawless. Several players remain at the club despite dwindling reputations and limited prospects under Cifuentes.

 

Moreover, a number of individuals are entering the final year of their contracts, leaving Leicester at risk of losing them for free next summer.

 

In short, while the transfer window has not been perfect, the Foxes have emerged in a considerably stronger position both on and off the pitch.

 

With smart recruitment and a leaner squad, they now have a platform to push for a return to the Premier League.
