Manchester United will get greater value from a deal for Bruno Fernandes than they would a move for James Maddison, says Paul Parker, with Leicester’s star playmaker said to be valued at around £120 million ($156m).
That has become the going rate for match-winning talent, with those at the King Power Stadium aware that they can push asking prices up for prized assets tied to long-term contracts.
If United were to try and prise Maddison away from a Premier League rival, then they would need to dig deep in order to get an agreement over the line.
