But this time Casper broke the bond. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel left Leicester City and signed for French club Nice.

Then he joined Leeds United in 2010 after spending time on loan at several clubs. However, after one season, he tied the knot with Leicester City.
Then 11 years of continuous journey. Casper witnessed it all – Leicester’s rise from the Championship in the mist, winning the league under Claudio Ranieri in the 2015-16 season,
giving birth to one of the most thrilling fairytales in Premier League history.
He played 479 matches for the club in 11 seasons, which is the club’s third highest number of matches played.
The 35-year-old star could not hide his emotions as he left the much-memorable club. His passion and love for this club also showed in his tearful farewell message.
‘After 11 incredible seasons I have made the difficult decision to leave Leicester. To me it is more than just a club.
It is a place where I have made some lifelong friends, many memories have been born. It was like my home.’
After leaving Leicester, he shared photos of special moments at the club on Twitter. There are pictures of the club’s promotion to the Premier League in 2014,
