Mirror: City to sign Maguire this week

Harry Maguire is set to become the most expensive defender ever, with the £80 million fee surpassing the £75 million sum that Liverpool splashed on Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.

The Sheffield-born defender burst onto the scene with an impressive World Cup campaign as England reached the semi-finals in Russia last summer, before backing up the hype with a solid 2018-19 season at Leicester.

Another Manchester team had been heavily linked with a move for him in United, but it seems as if the 26 year-old has chosen a move to the English champions instead.

'Mirror' are reporting that the oil-rich treble winners are willing to shell out £280,000 a week on his wages, and are even suggesting that the deal could be done as soon as this week.
