Leicester City’s turmoil from their Premier League campaign threatens to follow them into the Championship after suffering relegation.
Leicester are set for a points deduction after being charged by the Premier League for allegedly breaching PSR rules in the 2023/24 season.
The Foxes could also be on the hunt for a new manager as Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to leave the King Power Stadium, with Danny Rohl emerging as a front-runner for the Leicester job.
It remains to be seen who comes in to replace Van Nistelrooy, should they choose to sack him, with a huge summer on the horizon.
While Leicester’s business in the transfer window is dependent on the next manager, reports indicate they’ve already submitted an offer for their first signing.

Leicester City submit contract offer for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
In the January window, Besiktas midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was on their radar as Van Nistelrooy sought Premier League experience.
An offer was never submitted for the versatile 31-year-old, but now, according to Fotomac, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is willing to let the Englishman leave, and Leicester have offered him a contract.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has played for Besiktas since leaving Liverpool in 2023, having won the Premier League and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp.
Unfortunately, injuries have prevented him from fulfilling his potential, and since moving to Turkey he’s missed 132 days through injury.
However, with the report claiming Besiktas want him off their wage bill, Oxlade-Chamberlain could become Leicester’s first signing of the summer.
What Jurgen Klopp has said about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Although wages could be a problem for Leicester, the former Arsenal star would offer positional versatility, displaying capabilities as a box-to-box, attacking midfielder and winger.
Oxlade-Chamberlain also possesses the pace, shooting ability and dribbling to be an incredible asset for the Foxes, with former manager Klopp previously waxing lyrical over his talents.
Speaking in 2023, Klopp said via Liverpool’s official website: “Ox is a super guy, an absolutely super guy.
“Now with Ox it’s a bigger shame, how it sometimes is with players – he had here super times and now in the end I’m pretty sure he is not 100% happy and I can understand that, definitely.
“But the one moment that comes in my mind, it describes a little bit the time here but as well how good he is, is the situation in the Roma semi-final, the home game when he got injured. In that moment I had no idea how to replace him, honestly – Ox was that good.
“It was everything: he came here, had played from time to time at wing-back at Arsenal, winger for sure, and he became a proper No.8 here in the way we wanted to play – super-energetic, technically outstanding.”
