Claudio Ranieri has told Liverpool to forget about signing Kasper Schmeichel.
The Leicester City goalkeeper emerged as a potential target for the Reds as doubts persist over the abilities of both Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
Schmeichel was previously linked with Liverpool’s local rivals Everton but signed a new five-year contract with the Premier League champions last summer.
And Ranieri insists that the Anfield club have ‘no chance’ of landing the 30-year-old stopper in the January transfer window as the Foxes refuse to sell.
He said: “Kasper has a signature on the contract.
“We won’t sell Kasper until any circumstances. We don’t need money.
“No chance – Liverpool can win the title without Kasper.”
