Harry Maguire fears Manchester United move may not happen, Rodgers relaxed on the matter

Stoke City v Leicester City - Pre-Season Friendly

Leicester City might just price Manchester United out of a deal for Harry Maguire. Manchester United have offered upto £70 million for the centre-back. However, Leicester City are holding out for £90 million and Maguire fears the move may not materialize.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has maintained that he is relaxed about the matter and that Maguire has been "first-class" as far as his attitude in training is concerned.

Rodgers said,

"I'm obviously relaxed with it. It is what it is. The player has been first class with his attitude in his training. The club hasn't changed its stance in terms of the valuation for the player."

"As of this day, the valuation for Harry hasn't been met that would trigger any communication with the player and the other club."
