Leicester slap huge price-tag on Schmeichel as Liverpool, Man Utd circle

The Sun says Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare is ready to slap an eye-watering £50 million price tag on Schmeichel as he attempts to scare off would be suitors Liverpool and Manchester United.

It would also smash the world record £34.9million Manchester City paid Benfica for Brazilian goalie Ederson and would make Schmeichel the most expensive goalie of all time.

Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho have been tracking the 30-year-old Dane for months and Leicester's £2million pursuit of Hull City stopper Eldin Jakupovic could be the first move in a giant goalkeeping jigsaw.
