Leicester City centre back Harry Maguire missed training today, but not because of any transfer talks.

The City star, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer- with Manchester City also said to be interested - missed training on Monday.

But the Foxes' star centre back missed out through illness and LeicestershireLive understand the circumstances are not at all suspicious.

Manchester United have already submitted bids for Maguire this summer, seeing their latest of around £70 million, rejected by the Foxes, who are holding out for a fee significantly more than the world-record fee for a defender.

The record currently stands at £75 million, which is what Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk last summer.

United are yet to meet the Foxes' valuation and they are running out of time with the transfer window set to slam shut a week on Thursday (August 8).

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has also revealed there will be a cut-off point, after which City will not accept an offer, even if it meets their valuation.

The Foxes won't put themselves in a position where they don't have time to replace Maguire late in the window.
