Transfer Talk & Rumours from the papers
The transfer window is heating up, and there are some insane bids and valuations being made. Firstly, Leicester have placed a huge £90m valuation on their skipper and England international Harry Magure. This price tag seems to have put City off as they have placed the transfer on hold to assess other options. This would make Maguire the most expensive defender of all time. When compared to the £75m Liverpool paid last year for Van Dijk, is Maguire really worth £90m? Leicester are in a strong bargaining positon with City and United desperate to bolster their defensive lines.
