Liverpool apparently shown interest in signing him, and Tottenham may not be able to secure one of their top transfer targets this summer as his value has decreased.
Tottenham is actively seeking a new head coach. The appointment of either former manager Mauricio Pochettino or ex-Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is anticipated by chairman Daniel Levy. Nagelsmann may end up playing for a close competitor, which is unfortunate for Tottenham.
The German is thrilled to arrive at Stamford Bridge thanks to Chelsea. In order to appoint Nagelsmann as their permanent manager in the summer, the Blues have hired Frank Lampard as a temporary manager.
Additionally, James Maddison is being courted by Liverpool, which is a setback for Tottenham. For a while now, Spurs have been considering signing the ᴏꜰꜰᴇɴsɪᴠᴇ midfielder.
Spurs executives think he might be persuaded to move on from Leicester and join a club that competes in Europe.
Leicester has so far been adamant that Maddison cannot be sold for less than £60 million. However, 90Min’s most recent report indicates that the Foxes’ value has now fallen to £50m.
However, despite Liverpool having’registered their interest’ in Maddison, Spurs may still find it difficult to sign him. The player’s camp has been informed by Jurgen Klopp’s team that they intend to try to arrange a deal this summer.
For the past six months, there has been a lot of discussion regarding Klopp’s need for an overhaul of the midfield. Jude Bellingham and Mason Mount, two other England internationals, might join Maddison at Anfield to address this issue.
Liverpool confident about winning race for James Maddison
Spurs are currently in a much better position than Liverpool to earn a spot in the Champions League for the following season.
The Reds are not overly concerned about this, though. They think that having the chance to compete under Klopp will be crucial. Additionally, Liverpool will explain to Maddison how they intend to return to the top of European football.
Leicester would want to keep the playmaker, it should be underlined. He has, however, turned down numerous chances to extend his contract. Additionally, they must sell this summer in order to still earn a reasonable price for him because his current contract expires in June 2024.
Liverpool’s acquisition of Maddison for £50 million may turn out to be a complete sᴛᴇᴀʟ. He is a player that can consistently contribute goals and assists. In 23 games this season, he has managed nine goals and six assists.
He has the most assists this season and is Leicester’s second-highest scorer. Maddison also leads Leicester in terms of average shots per game (2.7) and critical passes made per game. (2.3 on average).
Liverpool must now pursue their interest in further detail. If Maddison is truly one of Klopp’s top summer transfer targets, Liverpool must begin talks with Leicester about a prospective deal. Spurs would be really disappointed by this.
