Former Premier League winner Marc Albrighton is one of three senior players leaving Leicester City when their contracts expire at the end of June.
Albrighton spent 10 years with the Foxes and was a key member of their 2015-16 title-winning side, while he also came on as a substitute in Leicester's 2021 FA Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley.
Striker Kelechi Iheanacho will be bringing his seven-year stint with the club to an end, while midfielder Dennis Praet will depart after five years at King Power Stadium.
The club remains in discussions with midfielder Wilfred Ndidi over extending his stay, while centre-back Jannik Vestergaard has agreed a new three-year deal.
As Leicester striker Jamie Vardy extends his stay into a 13th season with the Foxes, here is a selection of his key moments during his career with the club:
Joined Leicester from Fleetwood Town in 2012, when the Foxes were managed by Nigel Pearson in the Championship.
Scored his first Leicester goal against Torquay in the League Cup in August 2012.
In 2014, Vardy helped the Foxes secure the Championship title and promotion to the Premier League.
The 2014-15 season saw Vardy help Leicester in their relegation 'Great Escape'.
He made his England debut against the Republic of Ireland in 2015.
In a remarkable 2015-16 season, the forward spearheaded Leicester's charge to the Premier League title and broke Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for scoring in the most consecutive Premier League games.
Netted his first international goal against Germany in 2016.
His first Champions League goal came in February 2017 as the Foxes reached the last eight of the competition.
Lifted the FA Cup for the first time in 2021, playing in the final victory against Chelsea at Wembley.
After Leicester were relegated in 2023, Vardy scored 18 league goals as the Foxes won the Championship title to secure an immediate return to the top flight.

Jamie Vardy says there is "still more to come" from him after he signed a new one-year deal at Leicester City, which will take him into his 13th season with the Premier League club.
Vardy scored 24 goals in Leicester's Premier League title-winning campaign of 2015-16 and helped the club to the Championship title last season.
Speaking to the club's official website, the 37-year-old said: "To get the numbers that I did [last season] I'm delighted with it, but there's still more to come. I look after myself - I've always said that age is just a number.
"My legs feel fine so that's why I carry on, until my legs say 'that's it, game over'. There will be a day when that comes - but that's not right now.
"We look forward to another season in the Premier League and seeing what we can do. 100%, it's the best league in the world. That's where you want to be playing your football," he added.

The 2023-24 Premier League season may have only just finished but there is only 10 weeks until the 2024-25 season is scheduled to start.
So what are the key dates that you need to know?
When does the season start and finish?
The 2024-25 Premier League campaign will get under way during the weekend of 17-18 August.
It will take place over 33 weekends, with four midweek rounds and one Bank Holiday matchweek.
To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a 'winter break' this time around. However, to avoid Christmas and New Year fixture congestion, the league will give more rest time to sides over three of the festive match rounds, with no club playing within 60 hours of another match.
The final round of fixtures will be played on Sunday, 25 May 2025, with all games to kick off at the same time.
When are the fixtures released?
09:00 BST on Tuesday, 18 June.
We will have all the details here for your club as soon as the fixtures are released.
The summer window will officially open on Friday, 14 June, which also happens to be the start of Euro 2024, and will remain open until Friday, 30 August at 23:00 BST.
Transfer deadline day has been brought forward this year to be in line with the other major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.

With the search on to find Leicester's new manager following the departure of Enzo Maresca, we asked you who you would prefer to see as the Foxes' next boss.
At the time of writing, former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter was leading the way of the six choices with 37%, with David Moyes second on 23% and Steve Cooper third at 12%.
What is Leicester's summer priority?published at 14:34 5 June

We asked what you think the summer priority is for promoted Leicester City.
Here is a selection of your responses:
Tom: Disappointed on Maresca. Obvious priority is a new manager. David Moyes has clear strengths but would demonstrate the club have no unified direction. My preference would be to sort the 'back office' out to reduce the risk of ongoing financial mismanagement continuing. There has to be accountability to the shocking accounting.
Lucifer: Finding a new manager or keeping Abdul Fatawu on a permanent deal. He's only 20 yet he's banging in goals and assists. Special player he is, need him if we want to stay in the Premier League next season, but right now I would focus on getting a new manager.
Phil: Keeping hold of Vardy is number one priority and, if it's not too late, Marc Albrighton should also remain for another season. I watched the last game of the season and his sub appearance just showed what he's worth. What a crosser of the ball he is still. The rest will then follow.
Keith: A new manager/head coach is critical - get the right person, but quickly! So many players are out of contract, so few saleable assets, likely points deduction - not the easiest sell for the board to a candidate!
John: The priority is to sort the manager and get players in and out that they are comfortable with. If sanctions are coming then the owners need to address and mitigate this as much as possible so any penalty is a one-off and the manager, squad and supporters know where we are. We do not want drip, drip point deductions.
