REPORT: Leicester City boss told what Chelsea must do to sign Ben Chilwell

According to Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers, Chelsea top transfer target Ben Chilwell will only leave Leicester City this summer if the Foxes get the right price for him.

However, It is believed Leicester City want £80 million for Chilwell.

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.

“We will always fight to keep the players here but, if they’re not going to be here, the club will get the best price for the player, it’s as simple as that.

“We’re aware that while there are good players here, that will be of interest to teams who have more money than ourselves. We’re not naive, but we don’t lose sleep worrying over it.

“We have to continue with our work and have a pipeline in place, where if you lose one you have the next player in. This happens to the biggest clubs in the world. So, a club like ourselves, of course it may happen, it’s the reality of where we’re at.

“Players may be attracted to that level of club, Liverpool, Man City, Man United, or attracted to going abroad. But we’re looking to get ourselves into that bracket and we need to perform well and keep developing year on year.”
