SIMON JONES: Manchester United think Tottenham will settle for £100m in pursuit of Harry Kane, West Ham think the Red Devils will pay £120m for Declan Rice – and Leicester won’t budge on James Maddison’s price tag £50m even if they are relegated
- Manchester United think Tottenham’s price for Harry Kane will be £100 million
- Arsenal are preparing for a structured offer of around £90 million for Declan Rice
- Leicester want at least £50 million for James Maddison even if they are relegated
Real Madrid are expected to confirm the £100 million signing of Jude Bellingham this week following Borussia Dortmund’s title heartache on Saturday.
The capture of the 19-year-old midfielder could kick-start a busy summer of transfer activity involving Europe’s top talents.
Speculation rages on the future of England trio Harry Kane, Mason Mount and Declan Rice as Liverpool lead the hunt for Alexis Mac Allister.
And playmaker James Maddison will be in demand even if Leicester manage to avoid the setback on Sunday.
Mail Sport’s Simon Jones takes a look at the famous five on the market.
Manchester United think Tottenham’s price for the England captain will be £100 million
Arsenal are preparing for a structured offer of around £90 million for Declan Rice
HARRY CAN
Manchester United think Tottenham’s price for the England captain will be £100 million. With uncertainty over Spurs’ immediate future and next boss, United are not counting on Daniel Levy agreeing to sell easily.
DECLAN RICE
Arsenal are preparing to make a structured offer of around £90 million for Rice, but that’s not enough in David Moyes’ eyes. West Ham want nearly £120 million and think Manchester United are willing to pay it.
ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER
Liverpool lead the way for Argentina’s World Cup winner and final progress is expected next week. It is believed there is a clause in Mac Allister’s contract allowing him to talk to six top clubs in early June if they agree a fee of more than £60m.
MASON CONFIRMATION
Mauricio Pochettino is said to be open to a partnership with Mount, but Chelsea have failed to agree a new deal with the player’s father. Newcastle has done the first polls, but Chelsea want £75m.
JAMES MADDISON
Leicester want at least £50 million for him, even if they are relegated to the Championship. Maddison has been a target for Newcastle since last year but was believed to hold out for Tottenham Hotspur. The London club are desperate for creativity in midfield and Maddison has supporters such as club legend Glenn Hoddle.
