(Reuters) - Leicester City are pleased with their transfer business in the close season despite being unable to replace centre back Harry Maguire following his record-breaking departure, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Friday.

Maguire moved to Manchester United in the final week of the transfer window for a reported 80 million pounds, a world record fee for a defender, leaving Leicester with little time to find a replacement.

"Very pleased ," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers."We targeted a number of areas and were delighted with players brought in. "For us, it was always going to be a difficult market if we were interested in one or two. It was always going to be very difficult to get someone in. We looked at it, it didn't quite happen, but as a club we are happy with what we have."

Leicester's opponents Wolves, who finished seventh last season, qualified for the Europa League and are currently involved in the qualification rounds before the group stage.
