"?Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has insisted goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is not for sale, at any price.
Ranieri's comments come after reports have heavily linked Everton and Liverpool with the Danish shot-stopper.
Speaking to the "?Daily Mail, the 65-year-old said "Kasper has a signature on the contract. We won't sell Kasper until any circumstances. We don't need money. No chance. Liverpool can win title without Kasper."
30-year-old Schmeichel has recently returned from a spell on the sideline following a hand injury sustained in November.
The son of former Manchester United stopper Peter Schmeichel was one of the key players in Leicester's remarkable title win last year.
Ranieri already looks close to making his first signing of the winter transfer window, reportedly gaining the services of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi for £15m from Genk.
Leicester currently sit 15th in the table and are unlikely to want to sell their top players. Many predicted that they wouldn't be able to repeat the glory of last year - although their current predicament would only have been guessed at by the most pessimistic of fans.

Yet, Ranieri doesn't want the transfer talk to distract his players from turning their season around.
"I am thinking only of the game on 31 of December. I forgot 2016. My mind is at 31 now v West Ham," said the Italian. "That is my life and hope players follow me this way. Everything is the past "? it's the future that is important now."
