The Foxes are understood to be chasing CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa and Dynamo Kiev defender Aleksandar Dragovic for £20m apiece.
Dragovic, 24, was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United during the January transfer window.
There were claims the Ukrainian was set to complete a £16million switch to Old Trafford but Kiev stood firm on their reluctance to sell.
Leicester are two points clear at the top of the table and 12 in front of fifth-place United.
Securing Champions League football next season would require the club to greatly boost their squad in order to battle on domestic and European fronts.
Ranieri signed just two players during the January market, with Demarai Gray and Daniel Amartey arriving for a combined £8.5m.
