The 28-year-old will be allowed to leave Leicester City for a fee of just £8 million. He has a clause in his contract which allows him to move for a reasonable amount of money in the event of relegation.
Manchester United have been following the midfielder for a while, and it seems that they are not prepared to make a move for him.
