Report: Liverpool are now keen on £60m midfielder linked with Tottenham
According to sources at Football Insider Liverpool now hold an ‘active interest’ in reported Tottenham Hotspur target James Maddison with a view to signing the player in the summer.
Maddison has been one of the top performers at Leicester City over the last couple of years, despite the club struggling of late.
He scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists last season across all competitions (Transfermarkt), which earned the 26-year-old a call-up to England’s 2022 World Cup squad.
This season, Maddison has been impressing yet again, with nine goals and five assists in 20 matches for the Foxes (Transfermarkt).
Nevertheless, Leicester are sitting in 15th place in the Premier League table, with just three points separating them and the bottom three.
Leicester are keen for their star man to sign a new contract (90 Min), with his current deal set to expire at the end of next season.
A report from The Telegraph recently revealed the financial issues facing Leicester City, which could lead to players like Maddison being sold. It is thought he is valued at around £60 million by the club.
Football Insider previously claimed Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, and Newcastle United were in the hunt to snap up the England international, but the outlet now claims a new club has entered the race for Maddison’s signature.
The report states Liverpool are set to “undertake a major overhaul of their midfield” during the summer, and Maddison is thought to be an option for the Merseyside outfit.
Liverpool are now thought to hold an “active interest” in Maddison ahead of their rebuild in the summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
It’s easy to see why Liverpool and the other top clubs are keen on Maddison, and I imagine a big factor in where he goes this summer will be down to who qualifies for the Champions League.
We have to do everything we can to sign Maddison regardless, as he would be a huge addition to our squad.
