Leicester City will demand a £14 million compensation fee from any Premier League club interested in manager Brendan Rodgers.

Telegraph Sport understands the figure required to prise Rodgers away from the King Power Stadium is substantial, with the former Celtic manager reiterating his commitment to the club on Friday.

Rodgers is likely to be on Arsenal’s shortlist to succeed Unai Emery, after guiding Leicester to second place in his first full season, but has no plans to leave less than 12 months after his return to English football.

Leicester paid Celtic just under £9 million in compensation to secure the Northern Irishman and his highly regarded coaching staff when they appointed him as Claude Puel’s successor in February.

Rodgers signed a lucrative 3½-year contract when he joined, with Leicester inserting a huge transfer fee into his contract understood to be about £14 million.

The 46-year-old is focused on leading Leicester back into the Champions League and is involved in plans for the club’s new £90 million training ground, which they will move into next summer.

Ahead of Leicester’s home game against struggling Everton on Sunday, Rodgers said: “At Celtic, I felt I’d taken it as far as I possibly could. But here, I still believe there’s a lot for us to achieve.

“Leicester, in terms of history and support base, may not be the size of some of the bigger clubs in this country.

“But as a coach and a manager, if you can find happiness and you can find a group of people you enjoy working with and are on a path with you to develop and improve, then I don’t see the point of looking elsewhere.

“This is a fantastic club here, but for me it’s all about the challenge. As a manager, I cannot work for any more and I have a group of players who are committed to our vision.”
