Football can be extremely unpredictable. Only a few years ago, Leicester City produced one of the biggest upsets in sports history by winning the 2015-16 Premier League title. Flash-forward to 2023, and the Foxes find themselves being relegated to the English second tier.

It’s definitely a sad moment at the King Power Stadium, where fans got used to seeing a competitive team that even qualified for European competition. Now it’s time for changes in Leicester, with Tetê among a group of players set to leave the club.

Tetê will leave Leicester along with six other players

Leicester’s fate is sealed, next season they will play in the Championship and they have to adjust to that reality. Seven players who run out of contract in the summer will not stay at the Foxes, who have to reorganize their budget. Tetê, for instance, will not get his loan renewed so he has to go back to Shakhtar Donetsk.

– Youri Tielemans
– Çağlar Söyüncü
– Daniel Amartey
– Nampalys Mendy
– Ryan Bertrand
– Ayoze Pérez
– Tetê

The Brazilian striker joined Leicester in January on a six-month loan, but his stint was quite disappointing. He made only 14 appearances, scoring just one goal with the Foxes. At 23, he will try to revitalise his career elsewhere.
