'If they’re not going to be here, we will get the best price for the player, it’s as simple as that': Brendan Rodgers warns 'so-called big clubs' that Leicester will fight to keep hold of Ben Chilwell amid Chelsea interest

Brendan Rodgers has warned ‘so-called bigger clubs’ that Leicester are well versed in getting the best possible price for their star players amid interest in Ben Chilwell.

Chelsea are preparing an approach for the England left-back and it would appear the Foxes are braced for negotiations.

They extracted a world record fee for a defender when Manchester United paid £80million for Harry Maguire last summer, while the £60m Manchester City had to pay for Riyad Mahrez in 2018 was a club record at the time.

And Rodgers said: ‘At this club we’re pretty relaxed on that side, we’ve got good experience of situations where so-called bigger clubs will come in.
