Manchester United agree £80million fee with Leicester City for Harry Maguire
Maguire signed for Leicester from Hull City for £17million in the summer of 2017.
Manchester United have agreed to pay Leicester City £80million in order to sign centre-back Harry Maguire, according to reports.
The Red Devils have been linked with a swoop for the England international for the past 12 months but had failed to match the Foxes’ valuation.
However, as reported by the Telegraph, United have now met the price-tag for the 26-year-old who will become the world’s most expensive centre-back.
Maguire starred for England at the 2018 World Cup.
