Harry Maguire wanted by Manchester City and Manchester United this summer

Manchester City and Manchester United are set to go head to head for Harry Maguire now that England's Nations League campaign is over, Sky Sports News understands.

The local rivals both want to sign the England defender this summer and are prepared to enter talks over a deal that would likely smash the record for an English defender.

His current club Leicester do not want to sell him, however, and it is understood they have therefore not put a valuation on the 26-year-old.

But one source has told Sky Sports News the Foxes believe he is worth in the region of £80million - more than the world record set by £75m Virgil van Dijk last year.

Both City and United are understood to be reluctant to pay that much - but any fee would almost certainly break the £50m City spent on signing Kyle Walker from Tottenham in 2017.

Maguire's move is expected to be a market trigger for centre-backs this summer, with United putting Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly next on their list if they see Maguire move to the Etihad.

Although United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to revamp his squad with the best young English talent he can, Pep Guardiola would be able to offer Maguire Champions League football and the prospect of trying to fill Vincent Kompany's shoes.

Although Leicester do not want to lose Maguire, they are understood to have begun drawing up a list of potential successors that includes the Burnley defender and England hopeful James Tarkowski.

Maguire will not agitate for a move if it does not materialise, Sky Sports News understands, with the player said to be thankful to the Foxes for putting their faith in him with a £17m deal from Hull City in 2017.

Since he moved to the King Power, Maguire has established himself as first-choice in Gareth Southgate's England squad and became a household name with his immense performances at last year's World Cup.

Manchester United is delighted to confirm the signing of Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

Harry signs on a six-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year.

The 26-year-old England international joined Leicester in 2017 and has made 76 appearances, scoring five goals.

Harry Maguire said: “I am delighted to have signed for this great club. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Leicester and would like to thank everyone at the club, and the fans, for their fantastic support over the past two seasons. However, when Manchester United come knocking on your door, it is an incredible opportunity.

”From my conversations with the manager, I am excited about the vision and plans he has for the team. It’s clear to see that Ole is building a team to win trophies. I am now looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting the season started.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Harry is one of the best centre-backs in the game today and I am delighted we have secured his signature. He is a great reader of the game and has a strong presence on the pitch, with the ability to remain calm under pressure - coupled with his composure on the ball and a huge presence in both boxes - I can see he will fit well into this group both on and off the pitch.

”He has a great personality and is a fantastic addition to the club.

“I would like to welcome Harry to Manchester United and we are looking forward to working with him as we prepare for the new season.”

Harry Maguire Signs For United! | Manchester United

#lcfc can confirm that an agreement has been reached with Manchester United for the transfer of defender
@HarryMaguire93
.

Best wishes, Harry! 👍

#lcfc priced out of Nathan Ake transfer - #Bournemouth want more than £75m, I’m told. 2 years younger than Maguire, 10 Dutch caps, 3 yrs left on contract -hence high price. Tarkowski would be £40m+ so Leic reluctant to pay that too. Looking abroad, but may not sign anyone new.

ake 75m


Also worth noting that #lcfc have to pay #hull £9.45m as part of sell-on clause for Maguire (15% of the profit). Another reason why Leicester are reluctant to “overpay” in their eyes for a replacement.
