Transfer fee Manchester United must negotiate to get Harry Maguire contract

The future of Harry Maguire remains uncertain – Manchester United and Leicester remaining at £ 20 million in the English defender's badessment.

United is ready to pay Maguire 70 million pounds for the central defender of the Three Lions.

But Leicester is determined to hold for £ 90 million, the transfer window closing in less than a week.

It is understood that United plans to raise its bid to £ 75 million, thus equating the world record fee for a defender Liverpool paid to Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in 2018.

But United are adamant that they will not be forced to pay much more for Maguire.

And the Red Devils currently believe that Leicester unrealistically badessed the 26-year-old.

Maguire made it clear to Leicester that he wanted to leave this summer to pursue his career, 12 months after agreeing to stay on the spot while United and Manchester City were both chasing him.

He is also ready to miss their clash with Italian club Atalanta after being left out of the group.

Although Leicester runs the risk of letting Maguire out of his dream project with their evaluation, the Foxes are preparing for life after him.

Brendan Rodgers replaced the Brighton Lewis Dunk.

City wanted to land Maguire to replace his former skipper Vincent Kompany, who left this summer but only wanted to pay 65 million pounds.

City boss Pep Guardiola plans to enter the season with just three senior half-centers – Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi – as well as the versatile Brazilian Fernandinho, although the latter will not be in a position to win. # 39; emergency.
