DBasia.news – According to Brendan Rodgers, his player at Leicester City, James Maddison, was in talks about a new contract. This is bad news for Manchester United.
James Maddison is one of the most shining attacking midfielders in the Premier League. The 23-year-old is the key behind Leicester’s position at the top of the table.
James Maddison is known for his game vision and good bait. So far, he has packed nine goals plus three assists. Not surprisingly, Maddison is predicted to get a place in the English national team at the 2020 European Cup.
The impressive appearance made Manchester United fall in love. The Red Devils are rumored to be moving to get Maddison’s signature next summer.
Unfortunately, Manchester United is in danger of biting their fingers. Currently, The Foxes are in an effort to increase the duration of the midfielder’s contract.
“Negotiations are ongoing with the club and its agents. I know he is very happy and wants to be here,” Rodgers said as reported by Soccerway.
“He feels that he can develop with us. I hope that the new contract talks will soon be over,” he continued.
Indeed, James Maddison is still under contract until June 2023. However, Leicester wants to increase that duration and raise the midfielder’s salary. Based on Transfermarkt info, the price of Maddison is 60 million euros.
