Russell Martin confirms bids for Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes as Leicester weigh up futures | OneFootball

Russell Martin says Leicester City have rejected bids for Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes, and that decisions on their futures remain unresolved.

Both players were omitted from the season opener at Notts County amid transfer interest. According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, the manager confirmed the stance before kick-off.

Mavididi has been linked with Championship side Middlesbrough this week, while Faes has been expected to leave permanently after last season’s loan at AS Monaco.

Martin made the call before the game, with new arrivals Admir Bristric and Harry Howell included in the squad. After the draw at Meadow Lane, he said discussions are continuing.

He explained that using them now could squeeze out others, only to reverse that if deals progress, so the squad must be ready to manage change. He praised both for their attitude and training levels.

Martin stressed he would welcome them staying, but Leicester have turned down offers for each and talks are ongoing. He was not sure any departure would happen soon, adding any move must work for club and player.
