Leicester lose legendary goalkeeper!
Long-term leader and Leicester captain Kasper Schmeichel is close to changing his club registration! Nice became interested in the goalkeeper, and the Dane gave preliminary consent to the transfer.
Although Kasper Schmeichel was born in Denmark, he spent his entire career in the Albion. At one time, Darlington, Bury, Falkirk, Manchester City, Notts County and Leeds used the services of the goalkeeper. But Kasper gave Leicester a whole eleven years, going with them from the Championship to the gold medals in the Premier League.
However, everything comes to an end, and the son of the legendary Peter Schmeichel wants to try himself in radically new conditions. He seems to feel he has made the most of his time at Leicester, during which he has made over 400 appearances. Kasper does not even plan to fully work out the contract, which expires in 2023.
Today's Nice are a rather ambitious team that finished fifth in the previous Ligue 1 draw. Moreover, the Eaglets were in the Champions League zone for a long time, but at the end of the season they were noticeably tired. However, Nice will play in the Conference League, while Leicester have completely missed the European competition. We don’t think that such layouts suit the 35-year-old goalkeeper much.
In France, Schmeichel will definitely be the main goalkeeper, because now only the 22-year-old Pole Bulka, previously owned by Chelsea, is listed in Nice. He is a good goalkeeper, but the Eaglets need a second goalkeeper anyway. Ideally - very experienced and skilled. Kasper Schmeichel fully meets these criteria.
We won’t be surprised if the Dane still leaves Leicester and moves to a league that is not so difficult for him. Still, at 35, he still wants to play football, but Schmeichel Jr. can no longer withstand the breakneck speed and responsibility of the Premier League.
