It will be another summer of change for Leicester City if they fall into the Championship again.
Just under half of City's first-team squad departed the last time they dropped a division and a similar number of exits would be expected again.
But even if they miraculously stay up, the predicament they have found themselves in this season may mean the club want an overhaul of the squad anyway.
Here's a rundown of what might happen to each and every player.
Goalkeepers
Whether City stay up or not, summer interest in Mads Hermansen feels inevitable and a departure very possible. He proved in the few months prior to his injury that he is comfortably of Premier League quality, producing some astounding saves, while he showed off his excellence with his feet last season.
Given Enzo Maresca knows how good he is, and given neither Robert Sanchez nor Filip Jorgensen have had brilliant seasons, Chelsea interest would not be a surprise. While losing a player of Hermansen’s quality would be a blow, City at least know that, in the event of a sale, they would make a huge profit on the £6.5m they paid for the Dane.
Of City’s other goalkeepers, Jakub Stolarczyk is likely to stay and may even be a contender for number one should the club go down to the Championship. Daniel Iversen nor Danny Ward are out of contract in the summer and extensions seem unlikely.
Full-backs
The January arrival of Woyo Coulibaly looked like it may threaten Luke Thomas’s place in the squad, the academy graduate linked with a move away during the winter window.
Game-time had already been limited, and the signing of a new full-back who could play on both sides seemed like it would push Thomas further down the pecking order.
But the change in formation saw Thomas start at Chelsea. If he keeps that up, what seemed like an inevitable summer exit may not be quite so certain.
For James Justin and Ricardo Pereira, while they will only have 12 months left on their contracts this summer, they would be expected to stay if City survive. Perhaps if City are relegated, Ricardo may return to Europe.
That could be true for Victor Kristiansen too. He would be expected to stay if City remain in the Premier League, but the last time they dropped down, he went to Bologna for the year, and a similar move may materialise in that instance.
For Coulibaly, he would be extremely likely to stay no matter which division City are in. The Frenchman signed a four-and-a-half year contract this month.
Centre-backs
Caleb Okoliwas consistently linked with a move away in January amid an initial lack of game-time under Ruud van Nistelrooy and while nothing materialised, it perhaps indicates that his City career could end after just one season when this summer arrives.
There was a lot of talk around Wout Faes’ future too. A summer transfer may be in the offing if a decent bid comes in, especially if City are in the Championship.
Having signed a new three-year deal last summer, it doesn’t feel likely that Jannik Vestergaard is going anywhere any time soon. Conor Coady will have one year left on his deal this summer and may stay if regular first-team football was guaranteed.
Harry Souttar is out injured for a while yet, but if he can get back to fitness by the summer, Sheffield United may return. Ben Nelson won't be going anywhere, with the young defender seen as a big prospect at City.
Deep-lying midfielders
After sealing a January loan move to Sheffield United, Hamza Choudhury's 20-year association with his boyhood club may come to an end this summer, with the Blades having an option to sign him permanently.
Wilfred Ndidi had been linked with loan interest from Monaco in January but van Nistelrooy was adamant he was not going anywhere. City would be in a strong position to keep him in the summer too, or at least charge a decent fee for him, with the Nigerian signing a new three-year deal last summer.
If City fall into the Championship it would be easy to see both Harry Winks and Boubakary Soumare depart, particularly the latter, who did well on loan at Sevilla last term. Oli Skipp joined City on a five-year deal last term and won’t be going anywhere.
Attacking midfielders/wingers
For Facundo Buonanotte, a permanent move this summer is not likely. Brighton want him back in their squad.
It’s hard to see Bilal El Khannouss, if he keeps up his current level of performance, playing in the Championship next season, and so he would be a contender to be sold if City go down. However, if City stay up and plenty of cash is made from Hermansen’s potential exit, then El Khannouss may stick around.
Abdul Fatawu feels like another player who is too good for the Championship, but his ACL injury means he will be in the latter stages of rehab this summer, perhaps cancelling out a transfer.
On the other wing, Stephy Mavididi’s future is difficult to decipher. He could stay with City no matter where they are next season.
That would likely be true too for Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who signed a three-year deal last summer. But a top-flight club may fancy a punt on Jordan Ayew if City go down, the Ghanaian showing he can come up with the goods in big moments.
Kasey McAteer was linked away from the club in both of the last two windows, but he could be a decent option to keep if City go down.
Will Alves, after getting his chance on loan at Cardiff, will be better prepared for a role in City’s first team next season.
Strikers
Jamie Vardy is not likely to retire, so it will be a matter of whether he continues at City or goes elsewhere. Out of contract in the summer, he may finally bow out at the King Power Stadium in the event of relegation, but City will have a big choice to make over his contract if they stay up. Even at 38, Vardy has contributed a fair amount this term.
Unless Patson Daka kicks on over the next few months, the move he came extremely close to in 2023 may materialise this summer.
City would like to have already said bye to Odsonne Edouard but it was too costly to cancel his loan contract. He'll be gone in the summer.
