Brendan Rodgers says Leicester have faced a 'difficult' transfer window because they need to balance their books.

The Foxes are under threat of losing several first-team stars including Kasper Schmeichel, James Maddison and Wesley Fofana.

Newcastle want to sign Maddison and Chelsea are eyeing Fofana, while Schmeichel is on the verge of joining Nice, and Rodgers admits the club must sell players to balance their finances.

"What has changed is my knowledge from a financial perspective," Rodgers said, via BBC.

"I became aware towards the end of the season that the club would have to balance its books, then of course that becomes very difficult.

"This club will not look to spend money they don't have and that is where the club is stable and they will always be very sensible."
