Manchester united have agreed a world record €80million deal for Harry Maguire 26,the leicester defender. United have agreed to pay leicester €60 for maguire, with an extra €20m available in addition.
This deal we see him become the world most expensive defender, surpassing the liverpool man, Virgil Van Dijk, 28, who was bought for €75m.
The foxes have already found a replacement for their leader, with Lewis Dunk,27, set to join from brighton in a €45m deal.
Manchester united have beaten their bitter rivals Manchester City to this deal, after the two big teams bids have been rejected by leicester city. Both teams saw their €70m bid for the player turned down recently, but Man united were the favourites after the upped their offer to €80m, and leicester city had no choice than to accept the offer.
Also this deal comes, just after few days back, were the England born defender Harry Maguire accused leicester of pricing him out of his mega move.
The great defender was bought by leicester from shieffield united in the year 2017 for a price of €17m, and since that time he has proven that he is able to perform very well. He has proved his worth not only to his club side Manchester united but also to his country England. Harry Maguire at the last world cup was so exceptional, that attracted man united former coach Jose Mourinho, to pick interest in signing the young lad to Man united, but the deal was later not carried out. Harry maguire became a father back in April after his wife Fern, gave birth to a daughter, nine months after England exploits at the world cup.
The England ace is set to fly to Manchester for his medicals today. He will be hoping to prove himself at the Old trafford, and show that he is worthy of the big money splashing he was bought for.
He will hope to adapt quickly to man united style of play, and show his capability to earn him a place at the teand possibly be at the starting lineups for united.
