Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is hopeful of keeping his high-flying squad together.

While he believes ambitions can be fulfilled at Leicester, Rodgers conceded that money will still talk.

"Yes, but there are other goals," he said. "The reality is we will never be able to pay what some of these guys can get at those clubs.

"You can leave here and double or treble your wages. That's the reality and it is important for players and people.

"If you cannot pay that, there is an opportunity for players to move on. It's a great club here for them to come in and learn. It depends on what the player wants though.

"Look at Jamie Vardy, he was here and he had opportunities to leave but he decided no, he wanted to be here, to stay and continue the legendary status he has.

"Harry Maguire came in, did well for a couple of years, and decided he wanted to move to Manchester United, it's different."
