Reports suggest that Kasper Schmeichel will be allowed to leave Nice this summer. The 36-year-old goalkeeper joined the Ligue 1 side last year after an 11-year stint at Leicester. He has kept 11 clean sheets in 34 Ligue 1 appearances this season, helping Nice achieve the second-best defensive record in the division. However, his future at the Allianz Riviera is uncertain due to tensions arising from his lack of leadership and preference to manage himself, causing annoyance among some squad members. If Schmeichel departs, reserve goalkeeper Marcin Bulka is expected to become the club’s No. 1. Schmeichel recently expressed openness to a return to Leicester, where he played an integral role in the club’s promotion from the Championship in 2014 and their incredible Premier League title win two years later.
