Ranieri expects calls but warns bigger clubs they do not have the money for his Leicester stars

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has sent a warning to England and Europe's bigger clubs.

The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City are expected to make summer moves for Foxes stars like Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante but Ranieri suggests there will be no price to lure the trio away from the newly-crowned Premier League champions.

"Yes, the phone will be ringing, I know that," said Ranieri.

"But when it does I will say 'How much money do you have?' And then I will ask them, 'Do you have enough money to buy my players?'

"I want to keep all my players but if anyone shows any indication that he might want to go I will be trying to keep him."
