Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has decided he wants to replace Vincent Kompany with Harry Maguire, but has been told by Leicester City it will take a bid of £90million, reports The Sun. Guardiola is going to be without Kompany for their next campaign, with the Belgian centre-back opting to join his boyhood club Anderlecht as player-manger next season. Maguire, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, is now seen as an ideal replacement for last season’s club captain. However, with the 26-year-old still having four years left on his deal with the Foxes, they will only let him go for a record fee.

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, who was named the Professional Footballers' Association's Players' Player of the Year for 2019, currently holds the world-record fee for a defender, when the Reds paid Southampton £75m for him in January 2017. Kompany isn’t expected to be the only defender to leave the Citizens this summer with the club also set to lose Nicolas Otamendi. The 31-year-old is now seen as surplus to requirements in Manchester with Atletico Madrid tipped as a possible destination for the Argentine. With Fernandinho having turned 34 at the beginning of May, Guardiola is also looking to freshen up his squad with another defensive midfielder.

And City are reportedly interested in Atletico’s 22-year-old midfielder Rodri. The Spanish international only returned to Atletico last season after having left their youth setup to join Villarreal. Atletico paid a fee believed to be in the region of £22.5m for the holding midfielder, but City might have to pay as much as £70m if they want to trigger his buyout clause this summer. Another player who could be on his way out of City is Leroy Sane, with Bayern Munich rumoured to be interested in working on a deal for the German winger.
