Vardy and Mahrez have fired the Foxes into the title race |
LEICESTER boss Claudio Ranieri insists the big clubs are wasting their time making offers for wanted men like Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
November’s manager of the month has been assured by the King Power hierarchy that the club’s exciting involvement in the top four won’t be derailed by any major departures during the January transfer window.
That’s bad news for the signing ambitions of clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United who have been monitoring the goalscoring exploits of Vardy and fast raiding skills of Mahrez who were bought for a combined fee of just £1.5 million.
Ranieri who faces a reuion tomorrow night with former club Chelsea stated: “I am sure we will stay in this way. We don’t sell nobody.”
Leicester will also maintain their policy of scouting the best emerging talent and without paying over the odds.
Ranieri added: “The scouting is very important. If you have money you can buy the best champions in the world but you can still fight against the big, big teams.
“To do that it’s important to look at which young players have the possibility to arrive at the top. If for example you buy three players and one is right then it’s amazing.”
