Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says there's been no movement regarding the sale of Harry Maguire.

Leicester received 70m bids from Manchester United and Manchester City for the centre-back this summer, but both were told to up the offer by 10m.

Rodgers said: There's still time to go. You never know what happens with all the players but at this moment in time, this is a top-class player who will cost another club a lot of money.

Thankfully we're in a position where we don't have to sell. We don't want to sell him. He's a really special player. He fits how we work fantastically well.

But if anyone does come in for him you have to pay that premium for a top level player. He's just getting his fitness in and we're quite relaxed on it.

I don't overthink it. I'm just training the players, working with the players. There's been no great change from midweek.

I don't overthink it. He's a top-class player. We want to keep him. Like I always say, whoever's here will be here. We get to work with him."
