Leicester City have sent a parting message to the seven first-team players who will be leaving the club at the end of their current contracts this summer.
Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete will all leave the club upon the expiration of their contracts this summer.
The club is in talks with Jonny Evans, whose deal is also set to expire, regarding his future, while an option has been exercised to extend the contract of midfielder Hamza Choudhury to June 2024.
In a statement, the club said:
Tielemans made many memorable contributions across 195 appearances for the Foxes since first joining the Club on loan from AS Monaco in January 2019. Having made the move permanent that summer, Youri will be best remembered for his magnificent winning goal in the 2021 Emirates FA Cup Final that ended City’s 137-year wait to lift the trophy at Wembley Stadium.
Amartey and Mendy, meanwhile, both moved to Filbert Way in 2016, with the former making the first five of his near-150 appearances for City during the Club’s Premier League title-winning season.
Amartey went on to feature for the Club in all domestic competitions, and three European campaigns.
Mendy joined in the summer of 2016 and went on to make over 100 appearances, including 24 this past season, with his only goal for the Club proving a memorable one in a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in February.
The Football Club extended its thanks to all seven players for their contributions during their time with Leicester City and wishes them every success in the next stages of their respective careers.
