Ben Nelson is a player who is expected to command a good transfer fee and would be sold in the summer to help Leicester City manage the large financial deficit caused by relegation to League One.

Leicester City's 'prized assets' might be sold, and the club may need to sell three of them to remain financially solvent. Ben Nelson is one of this trio and would likely generate one of the largest profits.

Gary Rowett said the player is probably going to end up playing for Leicester's team if he is not playing for a Premier League team next season. Rowett also said he would love to say they might be able to have a chance of keeping him, but he thinks the reality is the player is going to go to a bigger club. The 21-year-old centre-back, who holds English and Scottish citizenship, has made 16 appearances in the Championship during the 2025/2026 season. His contract with Leicester City is set to expire on 30/06/2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €600k.
