Paper Talk: Harry Maguire asking price set as Arsenal fail with laughable bid; Man City to sign shock Kompany successor Arsenal have failed with a lowly bid for Harry Maguire amid reports Leicester have raised their asking price, while Man City are poised to sign a £40m Dutchman to fill Vincent Kompany’s shoes, according to Wednesday’s newspapers. BIG DEVELOPMENTS OVER HARRY MAGUIRE FUTURE AS ONE APPROACH FAILS The transfer saga surrounding Harry Maguire is poised to heat up amid a flurry of reports in Wednesday’s newspapers. We’ll start with The Sun, who, just a day after Arsenal were reported to have launched a lowly £40m offer for Wilfried Zaha, are now reported to have submitted an amusing £50m offer for Leicester and England defender Maguire. That bid has, understandably, been rejected by the Foxes, who have now apparently stuck a staggeringly-high £90m asking price on the 26-year-old’s head. Whether they’ll achieve that fee remains to be seen, but the paper also claims the player has now told Leicester for the first time he wants to move on this summer; news which has perhaps forced the newly-raised fee stuck on his head. That view is backed up by the Daily Telegraph, who claims all of Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal have been told it will take the world-record fee of £90m before they would consider selling the in-demand defender this summer. The Telegraph claims United have now matched City’s £70m offer for the defender, which is slightly nearer to Leicester’s asking price, but still one that will be rejected, as per reports on Tuesday. The Daily Express also has their say on Maguire’s future and claims the defender would prefer a move to City over United and Arsenal, owing to what is perceived as a seemingly regular guarantee of Champions League football.
