Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has criticised Wesley Fofana's camp for a "cheap shot" following the defender's £70m move to Chelsea.
In a social media post, Frenchman Fofana accused the Foxes of issuing "false and misleading comments" during his protracted switch.
"I would say the post didn't come from Wesley," said Rodgers.
"I know that for sure because of my experiences, where I had a message from Wesley.
"The post is a cheap shot towards the end from people, rather than him.
"The kid is a great lad. I'm not happy he has left because I've lost a top player.
"I'm not going to sit here and destroy a young lad when I know really where the message has come from. We're sad he has gone, we wish him all the best and we'll move on."
