The Leicester goalkeeper has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks with Jurgen Klopp concerned over his options at Anfield.

“He is under contract and we won’t sell him under any circumstances,” said Ranieri.

“Not even big money. We don’t need the money. There’s no chance.

Loris Karius has failed to meet Jurgen Klopp's expectations since moving to Liverpool
Liverpool signed Karius from Mainz in the summer with the German expected to be Liverpool’s No1 for the foreseeable future.
But after several poor performances that saw him cost Liverpool vital points, Klopp dropped Karius and recalled Mignolet as his first choice shot-stopper.
Liverpool have reportedly made enquiries over Schmeichel’s availability but Ranieri’s words will be a big blow to Klopp’s plans.
