Harry Maguire accuses Leicester of pricing him out of move to Manchester United?

Maguire 'angry' with Leicester over valuation?

Harry Maguire is reportedly angry with Leicester City for pricing him out of a move to either Manchester United or Manchester City.

The two Manchester clubs are understood to have identified Maguire as their top defensive target this summer, with United looking to bolster a backline which conceded 54 goals last season and City in the market for a Vincent Kompany replacement.

However, both clubs have seen initial bids of £70m rejected by the Foxes, who are thought to value the England international at up to £90m.

Metro reports that Maguire is unhappy with his club for what he believes is a bloated valuation, citing the £61m fee expected to take Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax to Juventus this summer as a comparison.

The report goes on to claim that Maguire had a gentleman's agreement with Leicester that he could leave this summer should a suitable offer arrive.

Leicester are holding out for a world-record bid for the 26-year-old, though, and are under no pressure to sell, having tied him down to a new five-year contract extension in September.

Maguire could look to push for a move from the inside, with reports suggesting that he has already submitted a transfer request at the King Power Stadium.
