Manchester City are ready to move for Leicester City defender Harry Maguire.

The Sun says with no buy-out clause in the Leicester star's deal, City may have to top the £75million record fee Liverpool paid for a defender when they signed Virgil van Dijk.

The centre-half, 26, has the ball-playing skills and confidence in possession, which makes him an ideal player for City boss Pep Guardiola.

Being a 'homegrown' star is also a boost for Maguire's chances of a dream move, with City needing to fulfil their quota.

But with the Foxes reluctant to sell Maguire, a fee of £90m might be needed to persuade them to sell the ace they landed from Hull for £17m two years ago.
