Harry Maguire will be offered a lucrative new contract by Leicester on his return from the World Cup, in a bid to kill off interest from Manchester United.

And Leicester are also ready to discuss improved deals with two other World Cup stars, England’s Jamie Vardy and Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi, as they aim to keep the core of Claude Puel’s squad together.

Maguire, the England defender, is in line for new terms worth around £80,000 a week following his excellent performances for the national team in Russia.

United are understood to have made inquiries over the availability of the 25-year-old this summer but Leicester are optimistic that he can persuaded to stay at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester held initial talks with Maguire over improved terms before the World Cup and will resume negotiations before the start of the Premier League season.
