Transfer news: Leicester reject two offers for Harry Maguire as defender plays in pre-season

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed the club have already turned down two bids for in-demand central defender Harry Maguire.

Despite the offers, the England international played in the second half of Leicester's 1-0 friendly win at Scunthorpe on Tuesday night.

Maguire has attracted interest from both Manchester City and Manchester United, but no bid has yet reached the Foxes' evaluation of around £90million.

That would break Virgil van Dijk's world record fee of £75m for a defender, set when he joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018.
