Manchester United are willing to invest a total sum of 190 million euros on Aston Villa's Jack Grealish and Leicester's James Maddison. That is according to 'The Sun', who didn't state how much each player would cost.
Manchester United want to regain the splendour that, until not long ago, made them shine in the Premier League and Champions League. A target that happens by digging deep into their pocket in the summer transfer window. The CAMs Jack Grealish and James Maddison appear in the club's spotlight.
The United board are willing to go all out and are now preparing 190 million to address each deal, according to 'The Sun' on Wednesday.
24-year-old Greliah is under Contract at Villa until 2023, the club that he as spent the bulk of his career with. He is a versatile CAM, capable of playing on both wings. Little wonder that this season he has scored 9 goals and got 8 assists this season. His numbers, far from surprising, have been constant for several seasons now.
His profile is very similar to the Red Devils' other big target. James Maddison is also a CAM, has a similar age, 23, and his contract also ends in 2023. In this case, with Leicester City. Maddison is shining in one of the teams that has stood out as a revelation in the last few years. This season he has already scored 9 goals and got 3 assists.
The information doesn't take anyone by surprise. United executive vice-president, Ed Woodward, already told 'Sky Sports' that they will spend big in the next transfer window. A marker that looks to return the team to the place that they have always corresponded to historically.
For now, it is unknown the cost of each one of the players. What does seem clear with these deals is that the attack is one of the priorities for the board.
