Leicester City are reportedly set to lose three players when their respective contracts expires at the end of the current season.

Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez and Caglar Soyuncu are reportedly all expected to leave Leicester City on free transfers at the end of the season.

The Foxes are currently stepping up contract talks with James Maddison, who has a deal with the club until June 2024.

Maddison has attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Newcastle United, who had two bids rejected for the England international last summer.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are also among his admirers, but Leicester have not given up hope of extending his stay at the King Power Stadium.

While Leicester continue contract negotiations with Maddison, three players are expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

According to The Telegraph, Tielemans, Perez and Soyuncu will all depart on free transfers when their respective contracts expire in the summer.

Tielemans has started 19 of Leicester's 22 Premier League games this season, contributing three goals and one assist in that period.

Despite being a key player in Brendan Rodgers's side, it appears unlikely that Tielemans will put pen to paper on a new deal with the club.

The Belgium international has previously been linked with Arsenal, and a recent report has claimed that the Gunners may reignite their interest in the summer.

Perez appears to have already played his final game for Leicester after he completed a loan move to Real Betis in January, which runs until the end of the season.

The Spaniard has scored 15 goals and provided 12 assists in 114 appearances for the Foxes, but he will be free to sign for a new club in the summer.

Soyuncu, meanwhile, is destined to join La Liga side Atletico Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.

Atletico explored the possibility of signing the central defender in the January transfer window, and while a move last month failed to materialise, he is set to head to the Spanish capital at the end of the current season.

Soyuncu has fallen down the pecking order this season, making just two Premier League appearances, but during his time with the Foxes, he has chipped in with three goals and two assists in 127 matches.

Leicester, who came from behind to beat Tottenham 4-1 at the weekend, sit in 13th place in the Premier League table - six points above the relegation zone.

The Foxes will look to claim a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
