Harry Maguire: Brendan Rodgers says valuation not met for Leicester defender
Last updated on .From the section Leicester

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says the club's valuation of defender Harry Maguire has not been met, following a £70m bid by Manchester United earlier in July.
Rodgers did not mention United by name but said a "huge club" were interested in the 26-year-old England centre-back.
He said: "Harry's a top quality player and no-one has come near the valuation to tempt the club to sell."
Maguire featured in Leicester's 1-0 friendly win at Scunthorpe on Tuesday.
Striker Ayoze Perez, who signed for £30m from Newcastle United earlier in July, scored the only goal.
Rodgers added: "The other club interested is a huge club, but he's a really good guy. I've been in this position a number of times and it's never easy but he's taken part in everything and hasn't showed anything other than sheer professionalism.
"You've seen that tonight with the 45 minutes he played."
Asked by Sky Sports News about potential replacements should Maguire leave, Rodgers added: "The club have been very good. If we lose him, we'd have a number of targets we'd look at."
The defender, who helped England reach the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, signed a five-year contract with the Foxes last September.

Oh, and by the way, he is a good player.
In the current football climate, clubs pick a random figure and the rich club backers just say OK.
He will move to Man Utd or City for 75 Million by the end of the window.
The media have decided it will happen and they will not stop with these articles until it happens.
Modern English Football
He isn't digging his heels in and he is being a model professional by the sounds of things
How much is character, ability to fit into any team plus he doesn't have an ego worth in todays market?
Leicester should dig in and do everything on there terms.
There aren’t many very good ones around
Today's £80m is 2015’s £40m
Nobody expected VVD to be this good. He’s probably worth £120m -£150m now which makes £80m reasonable for an English proven centre back.
Maguire would not have got anywhere near England selection when they were around.
So please,please,please,don't use his place in the England team as justification for a ridiculous transfer fee.
Maguire 20 caps,Phil Jones 27 caps,Chris Smalling 31 caps.
Says it all really !
Leicester also have plenty of youngsters, some English ones too, Choudhury, Barnes, Gray, Chilwell, Ndidi etc.
It would be stupid for Maguire to go to a mid table side, rather than staying at a future Champions League Team.
