Brendan Rodgers Hints At Release Clause As Arsenal Links Get Stronger

Brendan Rodgers revealed he could be priced out of Leicester City if any club wants him.

Arsenal are thought to have made the Irishman their top managerial target and will need to pay his release clause to get him.

Rodgers has done brilliantly on his return to the Premier League, guiding Leicester to the second spot this season. Reports claim he could be signed over for £14m.

When asked about the rumours after Leicester’s 2-1 win over Everton, Rodgers said, “There probably is [a clause] in most managers’ contracts. It’s all hypothetical – all these types of situations.

“For me, at this moment, we’ve had a brilliant win today. My focus is very much with Leicester because I made a change eight or nine months ago, and I’ve been so happy since I came here.

“I feel, with the players, we still have a lot of work to do. Most managers’ contracts will have something in that but, for me, my only concentration is with Leicester.

“I’ve been very fortunate in my career to work with some brilliant clubs and great institutions. It was an ambition to come here to help the club arrive in the top six. Everything’s been great since we’ve worked together.

“My ambition is to help this club, a responsibility to share that with the others and move the club forward. There’s great potential here at Leicester City to push on in the next few years.”
