But then you're missing the pertinent point in that Leicester are in the Championship and need to cut their cloth accordingly without PL TV revenue.
They get a parachute payment so they may think keeping him would get them straight back up.

Also it's not like there is a lack of takers. We have only her about us and the barcodes but I bet others are watching too.

Look at what we would want for Harry

Were in a pickle as we don't want to pay top whack but that's what other teams in our league can charge as they get that sweet TV money too (Leicester will get a parachute payment)so it's all well and good hoping for them to drop the price. It they can afford to take the risk, just like we can with Kane.

But we desperately need homegrown players. Something has to give.
100%, same goes with Raya

They can't afford the financial risk not to sell him regardless of parachute payments.

Newcastle agreeing a fee for Tonali surely signifies we’re strong favourites for Maddison?
Wouldn’t really make sense from their perspective as they are different type of players who operate in different areas. Financially yes it could have an effect maybe but in regards to profile of player not really. Excellent signing for them tho.

Maybe I should’ve expanded.

It’s been reported Newcastle only have 75 million to spend based on FFP

If they are spending €70 mil on one player I’m not entirely convinced that figure is true. Yes there is the chance that Maddison told them he only wanted us but then a move for Tonali would be odd as a alternative especially if Szoboszlai also costs around €70 mil who would be more similar in terms of profile.

Rice with 2 years left- West Ham want £120M

Mount with 1 year left- Chelsea want £65M

Paulinha who’s had 1 season in the league- Fulham want £90M

Maybe Leicester will look at what’s going on around them and ask for even more. For me Maddison is a much better player than Mount
Difference is Leicester got relegated and have to sell. They physically cannot afford to keep him

Don’t think I’ve seen so many different rating types!
I certainly confused a few people 🤣😅 was obviously just meant as a joke as many were fretting back and forth on every update everyday so I was stating the reality that we will either sign him or we won’t 🤣🤣🤣 but yea never seen so many diff rating types

Top banter from whoever disagreed with it 👏
