Man Utd plan huge bid for Leicester attacker Maddison
Posted Friday, December 27, 2019 by Tribalfootball.com
Manchester United are preparing a huge bid for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.
The Daily Star says United are ready to launch an £80million move for Maddison this summer.
The midfielder is not close to signing a new long-term deal at the King Power Stadium with the Red Devils poised to swoop.
The 23-year-old still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his current £50,000-a-week contract, but he could be offered triple the money at Old Trafford.
United raided Leicester last summer for a similar £80m deal for Harry Maguire, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hoping the defender can help persuade his former teammate to make the switch to Manchester.
United are mindful of the fact that the midfielder is expected to be part of Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad so will hope to negotiate a move before the tournament starts in fear of the Foxes driving up the price.
