Leicester City have confirmed the exit of goalkeeper Fran Vieites after the club and player mutually agreed to terminate his contract. The Spaniard joined the Foxes on a two-year deal last summer, but his appearances were limited to pre-season friendlies. Vieites played behind-closed-doors against Coventry City, but has now left the club. The departure comes as Russell Martin has brought in Alex McCarthy to strengthen the goalkeeping options at the King Power Stadium. McCarthy has returned to training after a minor knock and is expected to be involved in the upcoming match against Northampton Town. The 23rd-placed Foxes are 49 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship table, with 58 goals scored and 68 conceded this season. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 23rd in Championship, 46 pts, 12W-16D-18L from 46 games, recent form WDDLL. The club's goalkeeping situation is now uncertain, with McCarthy and Jakub Stolarczyk vying for the No.1 spot. Vieites' exit has left the Foxes with a third-choice goalkeeper, with Stevie Bausor and Tom Weal also in the mix. The club will need to make a decision on whether to bring in another goalkeeper before the transfer window shuts.
