Wales midfielder Andy King will leave Leicester City on a free transfer this summer, but captain Wes Morgan is one of three players to sign new deals.
King, 31, currently on loan at Huddersfield, joined the Foxes academy aged 16, made 378 appearances for the club and was part of their squad that won the Premier League in 2015-16.
Centre-half Morgan, 36, full-back Christian Fuchs, 34, and reserve goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic, 35, have all agreed one-year contract extensions until June 2021.
Describing King's impact with the club, Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: "Andy has been through everything with us and is an amazing guy - I'm so grateful to him.
"He is the only player still here that was with the club when King Power took over 10 years ago. He's been a massive part of what the club has achieved in that time and earned the respect of so many people."
During his time at Leicester, King also helped them win promotion from both the Championship and League One, although his last game for the Foxes came in January 2019, before loan spells at Derby, Rangers and Huddersfield.
