Manchester United are one step closer to landing Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire, with 90min understanding that both sides anticipate a medical being completed this week.
The Foxes have been holding out for a fee of £80m that would make Maguire the most expensive defender in history, eclipsing the £75m fee that Liverpool paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk 18 months ago.
United agreed to Leicester's demands a number of weeks ago, with talks since then focused on the proposed deal's payment structure.
Now, a report from The Independent describes the transfer as 'imminent' and suggests that the £80m sum will be broken into an initial transfer fee of £70m, plus a further £10m in add-ons.
