Leicester have no plans to consider bids for Wesley Fofana amid interest in the defender from Chelsea.
The Blues have turned their attention to Fofana, 21, with top target Jules Kounde preferring to join Barcelona from Sevilla.
Chelsea are also monitoring France centre back Presnel Kimpembe, 26, who has two years remaining on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
Yet after agreeing a new five-year deal with Fofana in March, Leicester have little desire to entertain a sale as things stand.
The Foxes have a reputation for negotiating high prices for their best players.
Manchester United paid £80million for Harry Maguire in 2019 and Ben Chilwell joined Chelsea for £50m a year later.
If Leicester were ever to sell Fofana — a very slim prospect — the fee would likely be a world record for a defender, eclipsing Maguire’s fee.
Leicester signed Fofana for £31.5m from Saint-Etienne two years ago.
He has quickly developed into one of Europe’s outstanding young defenders — despite suffering a broken leg that sidelined him for the majority of last season.
