LEICESTER goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has agreed a deal to join French side Nice, according to reports.
The veteran stopper is set to leave the Foxes after 11 years at the club.
But his move is dependent on Leicester finding a replacement, according to French newspaper L'Equipe.
Schmeichel is in the final year of his contract and is said to want to leave on good terms after his lengthy service to the club.
Brighton goalie Robert Sanchez has been rumoured as a potential replacement for the 35-year-old.
And Schmeichel will be given the green light to depart when a new shot stopper arrives to take over the gloves from him.
