Leicester City goalkeeper Janina Leitzig completes move to Manchester United

Leicester City goalkeeper Janina Leitzig has joined Manchester United for an undisclosed fee. The 27-year-old German keeper, who spent three seasons with the Foxes, has signed a three-year deal at Old Trafford. Leicester finished 23rd in the Championship last season with 46 points, 12 wins, 16 draws, and 18 losses from 46 games, scoring 58 goals and conceding 68.

What does this mean for Leicester City?

Leitzig's departure leaves Leicester City needing to strengthen their goalkeeping options ahead of the new Championship campaign. The Foxes, who were relegated from the Women's Super League last season, will look to rebuild their squad after a disappointing campaign. They are currently 49 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship.

Who is replacing Leitzig?

Leicester have made Sarah Mayling's loan move from Aston Villa permanent. The 29-year-old full-back joins on a three-year deal after spending the second half of last season on loan with the Foxes. Mayling's experience will be crucial as Leicester aim to bounce back from their recent struggles.

What’s next for Leicester City?

With the new season approaching, Leicester City will focus on strengthening their squad. The club has already made two signings this summer, including Mayling, and will look to add more players to compete in the Championship. Their recent form, ending the season with a WDDLL record, highlights the need for improvement.
