Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has declared he wants to stay long-term.

Rodgers said that with more time at the helm, he will strive to get the club as close to Premier League leaders Manchester City's level as possible.

Asked if it was possible to get his Leicester team to City's level, Rodgers, who has a deal to 2025, said: "If you can get me £500m, we probably won't be too far off it! They're an incredible team, but if you see how we try to play, our idea of football is there.

"They have that level of quality – and quality of manager, he's the best in the world for me, he's an incredible operator in his work. These are hugely gifted players who can do every facet of the game you want in terms of running ability, technique, immaculate tactically, strong, and of course the top players are always ambitious.

"But I think if you'd seen our last game against Manchester United, we pressed the ball well, we passed the ball well and that's what we've been developing over these last couple of years.

"So hopefully if I can be here for the four or five years Pep has been in charge, we can consistently get better."
