Leicester City will have to spend big to land Harry Maguire's replacement should the defender leave.

The Foxes have no intention of selling their star centre-back this summer, but reports claim they do have targets in case he does join Manchester United, who have expressed interest for the second consecutive summer.

The Red Devils submitted a £70 million bid earlier this week only for City to reject it.

They want a world-record fee for a defender and even that may not be enough unless Maguire himself says he wants to depart.

Meanwhile, the club are reportedly working on contingency plans, one of which is Burnley defender James Tarkowski, a player who has been linked with the Foxes since early in the summer.

And according to the Daily Mail, City would have to pay at least £40 million to get their hands on the England international.

The 26-year-old made 42 appearances in all competitions for Burnley last season, helping them to remain in the Premier League for another season and winning his first England cap in the process.

Tarkowski has three years remaining on his contract at Turf Moor and Burnley will demand a large ransom should City come calling.

The Foxes are also said to be interested in Brighton defender Lewis Dunk, who could also cost at least £40 million, meaning either way, should Maguire depart, City may well have to shell out around half of the potential fee to land their ideal replacement.
