Real Madrid 'weighing up James Maddison move'

Real Madrid 'weighing up James Maddison move'

Leicester City attacker James Maddison has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Real Madrid.

The 23-year-old has again been in impressive form for the Foxes during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring nine times in 35 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United have been strongly linked with the Englishman, but it appears that the Red Devils are now prioritising a move for Aston Villa's Jack Grealish over the former Norwich City youngster.

According to reports in Spain, Madrid are admirers of the playmaker and could launch a bid this summer as they prepare for life after Luka Modric.

Los Blancos will allegedly have to come up with an offer of at least €80m (£70m), though, if they wish to bring Maddison to the Bernabeu ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The attacker's current deal at the King Power Stadium will run until June 2023.
