Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Leicester want to reward Youri Tielemans with a new contract.
The Belgian midfielder has been a key figure in Rodgers' side this season.
Clubs around Europe, including Manchester United, have scouted the 23-year-old.
And Leicester are now moving to deter those potential suitors.
"I'd be very keen, we would obviously love to extend his time here," Rodgers said of Tielemans.
"He's been able to come in and over the last couple of seasons he's shown the qualities and the improvements he's been able to make. He's a really, really important player.
"He's a joy to work with, he has incredible maturity for a young guy, and you can see the consistency in his performances. He's got a couple of years left (on his contract) in the summer, and I know it's something the club will speak to him and his representatives about.
"With the ball, he has quality. His decision-making is so good, whether to play it first time, or whether to dribble with it into space. But also his communication, you have heard him talking throughout. His game management is so good.
"He's been outstanding for us all year. At 23 years of age, to play with that level of understanding of the game and quality, I'm very happy he's in my team."
