Leicester is determined to keep Harry Maguire and will tell Manchester United that he is not for sale.
The Foxes intend to resist any offer that United could make amidst a growing interest in Old Trafford.
They are preparing to offer Maguire a new contract, which has been planned as a reward after his great season at King Power Stadium.
Maguire had an excellent first season with the club last season after joining Hull for £ 17million.
He made his debut in the England team and starred in the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia, scoring in the 2-0 quarter-final victory against Sweden.
Maguire started every league game for the foxes last season, scoring twice. He made 44 appearances and won the player's award of the club season.
The 25-year-old is still four years old to execute his current contract and there is no pressure on the Foxes for them to sell the former Sheffield United defender.
Leicester does not want to lose Maguire after selling Riyadh Mahrez to Manchester City for £ 60million earlier this month.
United was linked to Maguire this summer with boss Jose Mourinho looking for two new recruits.
The transfer window ends in two weeks – a day before the Premier League opening game on August 10th.
United has already signed Brazilian midfielder Fred of Shakhtar Donetsk for £ 52million and Porto straight Diogo Dalot for £ 19million, with goalkeeper Lee Grant of Stoke.
"One thing is what I want," said Mourinho. "Another thing is what will happen, I would like (want to) have two other players."
Mourinho challenged Liverpool rivals to spend their summer spending and earning silver this season.
Jurgen Klopp oversaw the arrival of a talent of about 175 million pounds this summer, along with Alisson, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.
Klopp has already criticized the heavy transfer costs, saying that he preferred to "do things differently" after Paul Pogba's signing in 2016, but he said he "changed his mind" in the face of to these comments last week
Mourinho suggested that Liverpool's spending means his counterpart must now deliver trophies. "The problem is that you have to invest well and honestly I think they did very well, because every player that they bought are quality players and I'm happy for them," said Mourinho. . "I'm also happy to smile and see that you can change your mind and change people, it's funny."
"But it's good, but maybe this season, finally, you demand that they win.We must be fair."
"With the investments you made last season, that you did in January, that you are doing now, it will probably be the Premier League record this season, a team that was finalist in the Champions League – you have to say that you are a great candidate, you have to win.
