(Reuters) - Premier League champions Leicester City will not be pressured into selling unsettled striker Leonardo Ulloa for a cut-price fee, manager Claudio Ranieri said on Thursday. Ulloa, who has made one league start this season, handed in a transfer request after growing frustrated with the lack of first-team opportunities at Leicester, according to British media reports. "I want him because he is a good player, of course he would like to play more," Ranieri told reporters on Thursday. If I'm a liar, I don't want to say what (he is)," Ranieri added. Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka confirmed midfielder Gaston Ramirez had handed in a transfer request amid reported interest from Leicester but Ranieri remained tight-lipped.
