Since the arrival of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wout Faes is no longer really a pillar of Leicester City’s defense. He could therefore resign himself to looking elsewhere.
The aim of Wout Faes in the FA Cup a few days ago will it be his swan song under the colors of Leicester City? Since the arrival of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Belgian has in any case lost his starting place in the championship, having not started a Premier League match since November 30.
A departure could therefore take shape, whether during the next summer transfer window or even this winter. And Faes, despite his complicated season (he has been widely criticized for numerous poor performances in recent months), can count on interest.
Lazio Rome would indeed be in the running, and according to Daily MailLeicester City have reportedly set the price for their central defender. It would cost between 17 and 18 million euros to afford the services of Wout Faes, an amount slightly lower than its market value (20 million).
-Faes is still under contract at Leicester until 2027. Next summer, however, a possible descent from the Foxes could facilitate his departure; This winter, the club will not sell him off, aware that he can still bring to the club.
The Red Devil signed in 2022 from Stade de Reims for 17 million euros. Since then, he has established himself at Leicester City and played 48 Premier League matches and 43 Championship matches.
