Harry Maguire Wants Manchester City Move as Leicester Play Hardball Over Proposed Fee

Leicester defender Harry Maguire has chosen Manchester City over crosstown rivals Manchester United, but faces the possibility of being priced out of a move by his current club's hefty valuation.

The Foxes have repeatedly claimed that a world record fee would be required to prise their prized defender from their grasp, and have already rejected bids from City and United worth £70m.

And, though £80m is the figure that has been bandied about the most, according to The Sun, that is still a bridge too far for the Citizens, who are now only willing to pay around £60m for the 26-year-old England international.
