Final agreement reached 😭💔: Leicester City have confirmed that an experienced member of the squad has left the club after both parties reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract, bringing an end to his five-year spell at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City have confirmed that an experienced member of the squad has left the club after both parties reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract, bringing an end to a five-year spell at the King Power Stadium.

The decision closes the chapter on a player who featured during some of the club’s most memorable recent campaigns.

Having arrived with significant Premier League experience, he went on to make important contributions across domestic competitions while helping the Foxes through both successful and challenging periods.

Leicester announced the news in a brief statement on Thursday, confirming the departure by mutual consent.

The club said: “Leicester can confirm that a mutual agreement has been reached with Jannik Vestergaard for the termination of his contract.”

Jannik Vestergaard joined Leicester in 2021 and went on to represent the club in the Premier League and Championship.

The Danish international became a regular figure in the squad and played his part as the Foxes secured promotion back to the Premier League before remaining involved during the early stages of Russell Martin’s reign.

Although opportunities became more limited in recent months, the centre-back remained a respected presence within the dressing room thanks to his professionalism and experience.

His departure now allows Leicester to continue reshaping the squad ahead of the new season, with Martin looking to build a group capable of competing strongly in the Championship.

Vestergaard leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Leicester after five years of committed service.
