Leicester City most expensive sales - How the Foxes made £500 million in outgoing transfers

Ever since their incredible Premier League title win in the 2015-16 season, Leicester have built a great reputation of selling players at inflated costs.

N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez, Harry Maguire and Ben Chilwell are a few of the many star players the Foxes have been able to demand huge transfer fees for before allowing them to move on.

Leicester have raked in humongous amounts of cash from sales as a result, but which stars are among their most expensive sales?
