Maddison price tag revealed as Fabrizio Romano gives update on star

A report has seemingly revealed Leicester City’s valuation of star midfielder James Maddison. Meanwhile Fabrizio Romano gives an update on the Fox’s possible destinations.

Let’s be honest with ourselves, Foxes, Maddison was never going to return to the Championship. He is too outstanding at elite level to even consider staying and playing in the second tier of English football once again. He has his England international career to consider, as well.

It will be a real shame to lose a player of Maddison’s excellence and distinction, but life goes on. Besides, the east Midlands outfit have a great modern history for unearthing fresh gems almost yearly. To purchase this specific jewel, top sides must pay the King Power club at least £40million, suggest The Athletic.

Fabrizio Romano on Leicester City’s in demand asset James Maddison

As we always say, when the Italian journalist talks, every football fan should listen. The man who is almost never wrong, claims that Maddison is ‘set to leave’ Leicester City Football Club during the transfer window. Well, this information will come as no surprise to followers of the game, not least the Blue Army. The only sad thing is that when Romano says it, you better believe he has some insider knowledge. And that is exactly what he spoke about regarding the No.10.

The former Norwich City technician has many admirers, which is natural with his ability and statistics in the Premier League over the past few seasons. Among the potential suitors are, according to the transfer expert, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Romano even says that negotiations, presumably between clubs, will take place soon. Newly appointed Tottenham gaffer Ange Postecoglou is said to be very keen on Spurs acquiring ‘Madders’. Although Newcastle have been working on a deal since this time last year; I assume this means contacting LCFC along with the player’s representatives for insight.
