Neil Lal has reportedly indicated that he would be willing to take control of Leicester City without requiring 100 per cent ownership of the club, potentially opening the door for King Power to retain a significant stake.
Lal is understood to be prepared to allow King Power to remain involved as a 25 per cent shareholder while working towards a wider plan to address Leicester’s financial situation and reduce the debt currently weighing heavily on the club.
The proposal could represent a different approach to the future ownership of Leicester, with Lal apparently recognising that maintaining a relationship with King Power could be beneficial while also focusing on the club’s long-term financial stability.
Rather than seeking complete control from the outset, Lal would reportedly be prepared to work alongside the existing ownership structure, provided there is an agreement over how the club can move forward.
A key part of the proposal would be tackling Leicester’s debt, which has become one of the major concerns surrounding the club’s future.

Reducing the financial burden could give the club greater flexibility and potentially allow more resources to be directed towards rebuilding the team.
The reported willingness to accept King Power retaining 25 per cent could now add another layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding Leicester’s ownership and the club’s financial future.
For supporters, the key question will be whether such an arrangement can provide the stability and investment needed to help Leicester move forward.
