Leicester City's star player Enderi is on the verge of departing the club this summer after a £9 million release clause was activated following their relegation from the Premier League to the Championship. The 28-year-old forward's clause came into effect after their 1-0 defeat to current champions Liverpool, with five games left in the season. This unexpected turn of events has put the club in a challenging position as they try to reshape their squad for the upcoming season.

The Foxes are viewing this situation as an opportunity to revamp their team, as the presence of a release clause is not common in football contracts. Currently, only three players at the club have contracts expiring - goalkeepers Daniel Ayreson and Danny Ward, as well as striker Vardy. With Enderi likely to depart, Leicester City will need to act swiftly to secure their replacements and strengthen their squad for the challenges of the Championship.

Enderi had attracted interest from clubs like Marseille and Everton last summer when he was available on a free transfer. However, Leicester City managed to tie him down to a new three-year deal, which included the release clause. The player joined the club in 2017 from Henk for a fee of £17 million and enjoyed success, winning the FA Cup and the Championship title in the previous season. With 27 appearances in various competitions this season, Enderi has been a key figure for Leicester.

Despite his contributions to the team, Enderi's departure seems inevitable this summer due to the activation of his release clause. The club will have to navigate the transfer market carefully to find a suitable replacement for the forward, who has been a vital part of their success in recent years. Leicester City fans will be hoping that the club can identify and secure a talented replacement to fill the void left by Enderi's imminent departure.

As Leicester City begins to plan for the future without Enderi, they will face the challenge of rebuilding their squad for the upcoming Championship campaign. The club's management will need to act decisively in the transfer market to address the loss of a key player and ensure that they have a competitive team capable of challenging for promotion back to the Premier League. Enderi's exit represents the end of an era at Leicester City, but it also presents an opportunity for the club to reshape and strengthen their squad for the challenges that lie ahead.
