Leicester City ownership sale

Overview

The Thai owners of Leicester City, King Power, have put the club up for sale through a process titled ‘Project Lineup’. Managed by Citigroup, the sale package includes the men’s and women’s teams, the King Power Stadium, the Seagrave training facility, and the Belgian club OH Leuven. The move follows a period of decline for the club, which has faced successive relegations and significant financial challenges, including accumulated losses exceeding £180 million.

As the sale progresses, interested bidders have been given until September 14, 2026, to submit formal offers. A consortium led by Neil Lal is among the groups in discussions. The club is reportedly valued at over €230 million, excluding inherited debt. This ownership transition occurs as the club struggles in League One, having earned only one point from its first two matches of the 2026/27 season.
