FOXES REJECT £70M MAGUIRE BID
Manchester United’s improved £70m bid for Harry Maguire has been rejected by Leicester, Sky Sports News understands.
United moved ahead of rivals Manchester City in the chase for the England defender by upping their offer from the initial £65m that both clubs indicated they would be happy to pay a fortnight ago.
But Leicester have made it clear they’re not interested in selling at that price, especially after seeing United pay £50m for Aaron Wan Bissaka, who they feel cannot compare to Maguire in proven international quality and experience.
Sky Sports News has been told owner Aiyawatt Shrivaddhanaprabha will not sanction any deal, unless it eclipses the £75m world-record fee for a defender, paid by Liverpool for Virgil Van Dijk.
