NETFLIX PLAN INVOLVING LEICESTER CITY UPDATE EMERGES AFTER TALKS

Plans to make a behind-the-scenes Netflix documentary featuring all 20 top-flight clubs has reportedly been rejected by the Premier League.

Whilst Leicester City's top-flight status for next season remains unknown with the Foxes currently just a point above the relegation zone, City could potentially have been involved in a fly-on-the-wall series similar to Formula One's Drive to Survive.

The series would have involved behind-the-scenes access and interviews with players and senior figures in the game meaning that fans could have had unprecedented access to City's dressing room during a Premier League campaign.

But those plans have been scrapped according to the Athletic who report that despite talks being underway for many months, negotiations have broken down and no such series will be made.

Mail Online report that the league's decision to reject the offer was confirmed at a shareholders’ meeting in London on Thursday. They also report that concerns were expressed about the amount of access to players and staff Netflix would demand, as well as the logistical challenges posed by an operation involving all 20 clubs.

Leicester continue their fight to remain in the Premier League when they travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday to take on fellow strugglers Crystal Palace. Brendan Rodgers' side then host Aston Villa three days after the Palace match before another relegation six-pointer against Bournemouth on Saturday, April 8.
