Man City preparing shock bid for Newcastle United’s long-term target – Report

According to The Mail, Manchester City are lining up a surprise summer move for James Maddison.

The Leicester City midfielder is a long term target of Newcastle United’s and a player fans have urged the club to pursue this month.

However, after we saw a series of bids rejected for the 26-year-old last summer, it seems the Foxes have been unwilling to sell their star man midway through what could be a relegation battle at the King Power stadium.

Some have reported that we’ve resisted fresh bids for the England international due to FFP concerns, with some believing we’ll have more to spend in the summer, but news of Man City’s alleged interest could leave us with an uphill task.

The Mail report that Pep Guardiola is keen to refresh his squad in 2023, with the club ‘hopeful’ of beating Newcastle to a deal for the attacking midfielder.
