Caglar Soyuncu heads the list of seven Leicester players who will depart the club at the end of their contracts in June.

The announcement comes following the Foxes' relegation to the Championship on the final day of the Premier League season last month.

Leicester defeated West Ham 2-1 on the final day, but Everton's win over Bournemouth meant the Foxes were resigned to the Championship.

Turkish defender Soyuncu joined in 2018 from Freiburg and has featured over 100 times for Leicester, while fellow centurion Daniel Amartey made his first appearances for the club during their Premier League title-winning season in 2016.

Youri Tielemans is also among those leaving, having announced his exit on Instagram last week after spending four years with the club since joining from Monaco in 2019.

Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete are the remaining players who are to leave the King Power following the expiration of their contracts.

"The Football Club extends 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." read a statement on the club's website.

Captain Jonny Evans remains in discussions with the Foxes as his contract is set to expire this month, while an option has been exercised to extend Hamza Choudhury's contract to June 2024.
