According to The Telegraph, Leicester were found to have made losses of 200 million in the three-year accounting period up to June 30, 2024. Clubs in England's top two divisions are permitted to lose a maximum of 105 million over a three-season period. This figure is lower for teams competing in the Championship for a partial or full duration of the relevant accounting period. In Leicester's case, the club's loss limit for period 2021-2024 was 81m.
Leicester City are exploring a move for Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles, as the Foxes look to inject leadership and defensive solidity into a season that has not gone according to plan, as reported by BBC. With the club struggling to find consistency in the Championship, caretaker manager Andy King is understood to be pushing for reinforcements who can provide both immediate impact and dressing-room authority.
Leicester City pulled off one of the most remarkable title successes of all time when they won the Premier League in 2016 and the 10-year anniversary is now fast approaching. The Foxes surpassed all expectations by beating the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester City to the title in 2015-16, despite only narrowly avoiding relegation during the previous season.
Picking up a heavyweight FA Cup scalp earlier in the month as they edged past Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, the Red Dragons have their sights firmly set on mounting another iconic promotion charge in 2026. Including a 2-1 win against Derby on January 4th, Wrexham have won each of their other five appearances across all competitions. Claiming a pulsating 5-3 victory against Sheffield United last month, Parkinson's play-off dreamers have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes.
Coventry City strengthened their grip on top spot in the Championship table with a 2-1 comeback win over East Midlands rivals Leicester City. Having seen Middlesbrough move within three points of the summit with an entertaining 3-2 success over West Brom on Friday, Frank Lampard's Sky Blues initially threatened to give up ground.

Leicester City have reportedly blocked a potential January exit for defender Caleb Okoli, turning down a transfer approach from Italian Serie B side Cremonese. According to Sky Sports reported Gianluca Di Marzio, the Foxes have made it clear that the 24-year-old centre-back is not for sale during this window, despite the player's fluctuating minutes in the Championship this season.
However, making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they opened the New Year with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United, the pressure on Marti Cifuentes' shoulders has now reached a boiling points. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny on December 20th as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming against QPR, the Foxes have lost three of their previous four Championship appearances.
Relegated from the Premier League last season, Leicester are targeting an immediate return to the top flight, but their campaign has been inconsistent. Marti Cifuentes's men have recorded eight wins, seven draws, and eight defeats from 23 Championship matches, a mixed run that sees them stuck in mid-table. Their recent form offers little encouragement: a 2-1 home loss to Watford followed a heavy 4-1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on December 20.
A decade on from their Premier League title triumph, Leicester now face the grim prospect of mid-table obscurity in the second tier, currently on course for their lowest finish since 2012. December began brightly with seven points from three games, but optimism was dented by a crushing 4-1 loss at Loftus Road on Saturday. Four first-half goals from QPR condemned Marti Cifuentes's side to their seventh defeat of the season, leaving them 13th in the table and four points adrift of the playoff spots.
Marti Cifuentes takes his Leicester side back to his former club on Saturday (15:00 GMT) having moved up to eighth place in the Championship following a run of seven points from their past three games. QPR would move above the Foxes with a win at Loftus Road. None of the past 11 league meetings between QPR (five wins) and Leicester (six) have been drawn, with the Hoops winning 2-1 last time out in March 2024.

Arsene Wenger wanted to bring the Swiss International midfielder to Arsenal during his time at the club.
