If Ricardo Pereira does move on from Leicester City this summer, he will leave behind a legacy that few full-backs in the club’s modern history can match.
Signed in 2018 from Porto, the Portuguese defender quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most complete right-backs and became a central figure during one of the most successful periods the club has enjoyed in recent years.
From the outset, Ricardo brought a blend of technical quality, intelligence and attacking intent that elevated Leicester’s right flank. He was as comfortable stepping into midfield as he was defending one-on-one, and his ability to carry the ball forward made him a constant threat. During the 2018–19 season, he was not only Leicester’s standout performer but widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in the league, deservedly picking up the club’s Player of the Season award.
