Leicester City want Christian Fuchs to sign a new one-year deal.

The Mercury understands Fuchs could extend his stay at City by another year to provide cover at left-back for Ben Chilwell.

The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of this season and was expected to move to America to be reunited with his family in Manhatten.

Fuchs had stated that was his plan, and to join an MLS side, but City boss Brendan Rodgers believes his experience will be important for one more year as he builds City into a side he believes can challenge the top six in the Premier League.

Fuchs recently hinted in an interview with Sky that he may be seen in the Premier League again next season, but reiterated his desire to be more involved in the upbringing of his children, who he sees roughly every three weeks.

Shinji Okazaki has already announced he is leaving the club this summer as the title-winning squad gradually move on, but club captain Wes Morgan has already signed a one-year contract extension to provide experience and support within the City dressing room, and Fuchs will have a similar role if he signs.
