Manchester United top target revealed as Leicester City player for £80m
Manchester United are expected to make many signings soon but will have to wait until the summer for Leicester City players, apparently.
First of all, may everyone at FanSided along with Foxes of Leicester wish you happy holidays. We are sure you are all aware that there is a full Premier League fixture list over Boxing Day and Friday, with all 20 top-flight clubs in action. Leicester City host Liverpool at 8p.m. GMT on Thursday.
Currently the Foxes are riding high in second position in the division, only the Reds are above them. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side have a decent lead; with the East Midlanders not even chasing a title. Or are they?
In all honesty, as well as realistically, Brendan Rodgers’ team will most likely finish third or possibly fourth behind Chelsea. Though even the Blues are struggling in the perceived ‘big-six’ dimension. At the time of writing, Frank Lampard’s outfit are losing 2-0 at home to perennial strugglers Southampton.
Leicester City transfer news
Anyway, away from the actual action, permutations and ramifications – the January transfer window is approaching. Some premiership clubs having already made promising moves. Such as Liverpool – with the Japanese player Takumi Minamino.
Rodgers has affirmed the stance of Leicester to refuse sales of any important individuals belonging to the King Power team. Especially in January. Although many sides, like Manchester United, will attempt to prize away Foxes talent in the summer.
To that end, it was reported this week that the Red Devils’ top target for July is midfielder James Maddison. A fee touted was £80 million. The playmaker is highly rated by all observers and is now an England international, too. Demand will be high – you have been warned. Read the quote below for more information:
