LEICESTER need to sell players before they buy this summer with James Maddison potentially up for grabs, according to reports.
Despite boss Brendan Rodgers calling for a "healthy shake up" of his squad back in February, the Foxes are the only Premier League club yet to make a signing.
Following the humiliating 4-1 FA Cup loss at Nottingham Forest, Rodgers said: "Now my job is to keep provoking and keep developing the club and the squad.
"If players aren't improving and developing, then of course you need that healthy shake-up. We need to reinvigorate the squad."
Leicester have a bloated roster after a number of years trying to compete with the Premier League's elite – and they are struggling to shift players to clear room for fresh talent.
Last season's summer signings Boubakary Soumare, Jannik Vestergaard and Ryan Bertrand are all among those considered expendable – but the Foxes can't find takers.
