Top-flight rules permit teams to lose no more than 105 million pounds over a 3-year period.

Despite Leicester making almost 75 million pounds profit in footballers sale, they registered huge financial losses.

The Foxes labeled the relegation to the Championship a “disappointing and unanticipated decline”, as the former Premier League champions had finished 8^th, 5^th and 5^th in the EPL in the previous 3 campaigns.

Leicester received 70 million pounds for the transfers of Wesley Fofana to Chelsea two 2 years ago and James Maddison who was sold for 40 million pounds in the past summer to Spurs.
