      And SunSport understands they have now made a formal offer of £50m in an attempt to snap up the pair.
      But the offer is around £70M less than what Leicester valued the players at 12 months ago.
      Least summer, they were thought to be asking for around £60m for each of Maddison and Barnes.
      However, they are aware relegation means they may well have to take a cut-price.
      READ MORE ON TOTTENHAM
      Maddison, 26, who is also receiving interest from Newcastle, has just one year left on his contract so Leicester need to sell to avoid him leaving on a free.
      He is on international duty ahead of England’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
      Barnes, 25, has a deal that keeps him at the King Power Stadium until 2025, but he is still expected to leave before the new season gets underway.
      Aston Villa and West Ham are both monitoring his situation.

      Maddison contributed 10 goals and nine assists in 32 games for Leicester this season, while Barnes registered 13 goals and three assists.
      Their imminent departures come as Enzo Maresca is being tipped to become the Foxes’ new head coach.
      Maresca, 43, is one of Pep Guardiola’s coaches at Manchester City.
      He is believed to have impressed Leicester chiefs during the interview process – which also saw the 2016 Premier League champions talk to outgoing boss Dean Smith, Steven Gerrard, Scott Parker and Graham Potter. More

      Within the deal was a £29million obligation to buy providing the Lilywhites qualified for the Champions League.
      But the North London club missed out on the top four this season and failed to qualify for any form of European competition.
      Instead, they were offered first refusal when Juventus chiefs travelled to London to discuss terms.
      And The Evening Chronicle are now reporting that Kulusveski is keen to play in the Champions League next season.

      As a result, his representatives, World Soccer Agency, are “seeking a new challenge” for their client.
      And Newcastle have been touted as a potential destination – with the Magpies having scouted him in the past.
      Eddie Howe’s men have sealed a return to Europe’s premier competition – 20 years on from the club’s last appearance in the Champions League.
      Kulusevski has registered seven goals and 16 assists in 57 appearances for Tottenham.

      Bentancur joined on a permanent transfer, but Tottenham are still yet to firm up a long-term deal for Kulusveski.
      Speaking at the end of the season, the Sweden international said: “I honestly don’t know [what will happen], I just focus on doing the best possible on the pitch.
      “Now of course I have to talk to the club and then we’ll see what happens.” More

      Man Utd ‘GIVE UP on Harry Kane transfer to avoid months-long saga as bosses believe Tottenham will never sell to them’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have moved away from their pursuit of Harry Kane as they feel Tottenham “never wanted to sell” to them.The Red Devils have been heavily linked with England captain Kane, 29, for several months as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his Spurs contract.

      In recent weeks, Real Madrid have joined the race to sign the Lilywhites’ all-time record scorer.
      And according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United are now “looking at other options” as they search for a new striker.
      The report states negotiations between Man Utd and Tottenham are “not advancing at all” and that Erik ten Hag’s men believe Spurs “never wanted to sell Kane to them”.
      United are also unwilling to become embroiled in a “two-month saga”.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Kane was the centre of a long, drawn-out transfer pursuit from Manchester City two years ago.
      But Spurs eventually held onto their man – who has 213 Premier League goals, 47 adrift of Alan Shearer’s record.
      He could yet leave England amid interest from Real Madrid as they seek a replacement for Karim Benzema.
      But news of Kylian Mbappe potentially being on the market could knock Kane down Real’s pecking order.

      Meanwhile, Man Utd have turned their attention towards alternative striker options.
      And Romano is reporting one of those is Atalanta and Denmark’s Rasmus Hojlund.
      The 20-year-old scored 16 goals in 42 appearances for the Serie A side in the 2022/23 season.
      When asked earlier this week about interest from Man Utd, Hojlund told Danish media outlet Tipsbladet: “It is a huge club, so I must have done something right if it says that they want me.
      “We have to see what happens. As you see and hear, I could well imagine that a lot could happen in relation to a couple of strikers this summer.
      “There are many clubs that lack a nine, so something will definitely happen in relation to that, and then we will have to see if I am in it.” More

      Reports suggest that Tottenham could look to sign players that Postecoglou has worked with before.
      Kyogo Furuhashi scored 54 goals in 83 games at Celtic and is likely to attract interest this summer.
      SunSport previously revealed that Spurs could launch a £20million bid for the Japanese striker.
      And it would not come as a surprise to those at Parkhead to see Kyogo follow their former boss in moving to the Premier League.

      Ex-Celtic ace Mark Wilson believes Postecoglou will be desperate to be reunited with his star man.
      He told The Herald: “I wouldn’t like to see any of them [Celtic players] going out the door.
      “I believe they give Celtic the best chance of retaining the title against a Rangers that, in my opinion, is definitely going to be better than we’ve seen.
      “It also gives them the best opportunity in the Champions League.

      “But who could I see Postecoglou coming for? The obvious one is Kyogo.
      “Kyogo was brought in and was the catalyst for everything that happened at Celtic.
      “Postecoglou made everybody aware of that, Kyogo was the signing that kicked everything off.
      “Even when you hear some of the players talking about Kyogo; the way he plays and the character he is, he really does set the tone for a Postecoglou team. You can understand why he would look at him.”
      With speculation that Harry Kane could leave, along with Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski’s dip in form last season, Spurs are likely to add to their attacking options this summer.
      Meanwhile, they have also been linked with Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. More

      There is high confidence within north London after the Australian tactician’s arrival, following a successful campaign with the Hoops as he won the Treble in Scotland.
      However, it doesn’t come up roses on Football Manager as the 57-year-old only lasts one term at Tottenham in the video game.
      The season kicks off on the right foot with Harry Kane staying on despite his contract running out next year with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich keeping tabs.
      However, Postecoglou and Kane can’t help Spurs finish in the top four or end their trophyless hoodoo, which extends to 16 years.

      As for signings, Postecoglou turns Pedro Porro’s loan deal into a permanent move by splashing £36.5m to Sporting Lisbon.

      But he failed to impress manager Diego Simeone and is looking for a new club after a disastrous spell in the Spanish capital.
      Doherty, 31, arrived as a back-up to Nahuel Molina and has been limited to a substitute role over the last few months.
      He played just 16 minutes and set a new record for the least amount of game time for a foreign player.
      The Irishman featured in just two games and was unable to displace Molina, despite fears the Argentina international would suffer from fatigue after the World Cup.

      Doherty is now looking to revitalise his career following an underwhelming spell at Spurs too.
      He made just 44 Premier League appearances for the North London club across two-and-a-half years, scoring three goals.
      Despite his lack of game time Doherty revealed he was enjoying his time in Spain and wanted to use the experience to improve as a player.
      He said: “The reason I left was… well, initially it was just to go on loan for the rest of the season and then obviously we had the problems with too many loans, so then it was a case of I couldn’t really say no to that type of experience and a manager of his calibre.

      Ten Hag accepts no player “would be happy with the situation”.

      Maguire’s United deal runs until 2025 with the option for an extra year and he’s previously pledged to fight for his place.
