Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has called Harry Maguire a "special player" they do not want to lose but said they have no choice after Manchester United met their valuation.
On Friday, United agreed an £80 million deal with Leicester to sign the 26-year-old England international and Maguire is expected to agree personal terms and complete a medical over the weekend.
"The clubs have agreed [a fee] and there's still some work for it to go through. There's still a bit to go in terms of Harry's medical and whatever personal things to sort out, but it is what it is," Rodgers said after Leicester's 2-1 win over Atalanta in a preseason friendly on Friday.
