As culled from multiple sources including The Sun, the club is under investigation for breaching financial spending regulations, potentially facing two separate inquiries as one inquiry stems from Leicester's compliance with the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) during their time in the Championship.

The consequences could significantly impact Leicester's season in the Premier League, where they are looking to contend with the best teams in England.

The Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) are designed to ensure that clubs do not spend more than they earn, protecting them from financial crises while maintaining competitive balance in the league.

They may face a situation similar to Everton, who received two separate points deductions for financial overspending during successive three-year periods.

Leicester, having been charged by the Premier League in March, are under scrutiny for exceeding the £105million loss limit for the financial period ending in 2022-23.
