Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have both expressed a desire to sign Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.
According to 90min, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in signing James Maddison. The future of the 26-year-old midfielder has been a source of speculation for some time, and he is expected to move in the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have both informed his representatives of their interest in the Leicester City midfielder. Maddison first joined Norwich in the winter of 2016. He rose through the ranks at the club before joining the Foxes in the summer of 2018.
Maddison has since established himself as an important member of their squad. The England international has appeared in 195 games and scored over 90 goals.
His form was a concern at one point, but he is back to his best in the current season. The 26-year-old has appeared in 22 Premier League games, scoring nine goals and providing six assists.
Leicester’s contract with the midfielder expires in the summer of 2024. While the club was eager to extend it, the player had already turned down several offers. And he is eager to advance in his career.
With just over a year left on his contract, the club will have to look for a buyer in the summer. Or they might end up losing him for free, as happened with Youri Tielemans. The Foxes could accept a £50 million bid for the England international.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs vying for his services. They have already informed the player’s agent of their intention to sign him in the summer.
The Merseyside club will look for a midfield overhaul in the summer after a disappointing season. Jurgen Klopp wants to sign multiple midfielders ahead of next season. He believes Maddison could be a great addition to their ranks and his versatility could help their cause.
They will, however, face competition from the Spurs. While the London club searches for a new manager, they have already identified key areas that need to be strengthened ahead of next season. Tottenham believes that bringing in a new midfielder will be critical to their success.
They also want to bring in an attacking midfielder. However, it will not be easy because both clubs intend to go all out for the 26-year-old. It will be interesting to see who wins this transfer battle.
