Steven Posted 24 August 2020 Share Posted 24 August 2020 1 hour ago, Ed25 said: And this is the full article: Leicester City are set to confirm that James Maddison has signed a new long-term contract, as the club prepares for the £50 million sale of Ben Chilwell. Maddison has been in talks over an improved deal since last year, as reported by Telegraph Sport in February, and it is understood he committed to a four-year extension when the Premier League season was paused amid the coronavirus crisis. The £21-million attacking midfielder has made a huge impression since moving from Norwich City in June 2018 and Leicester have been determined to offer him improved terms due to his progress under manager Brendan Rodgers. Talks were slightly delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic but were concluded earlier this year and Leicester will make an official announcement later on Monday. Nampalys Mendy, the midfielder, is also signing a two-year contract extension. Maddison is also making good progress after a minor procedure on a hip injury, having missed the final six games of Leicester's season. Chilwell, however, is set to sign for Chelsea later this week bringing to an end his 11-year association with the club. The England left-back has been Frank Lampard's No 1 target for the position and negotiations are expected to be concluded in the next 48 hours. Leicester have agreed an initial fee of around £50 million, with further money due for add-ons and instalments. Meanwhile, long-serving head physio David Rennie is leaving the club after more than two decades of service in a backroom reshuffle. I hope he is going on his own terms and not been nudged out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they used instalments makes me think guaranteed money on top of the £50m, otherwise surely they would just be add ons? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it´s likely that the final figure is not that different from the 50M reported. Most actually reported the ad ons being worth around 5 million pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like saying to the beautiful girl that you'd love to date her and i know she'd love to date me because I'm incredibly handsome but I'm standing aside so my ugly mate can have a free run at you. It hardly endears the beautiful to your ugly mate so she'll end up with anyone but him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mazarron fox Posted 24 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 24 August 2020 (edited) I think this is the tip of a very big iceberg as someone alluded to earlier. Supporting this great club is certainly never ever boring. On a side note my grandson who was born in Nottingham and lives in deepest tree country has decided his life is with the foxes. The other grandad a massive red is suicidal 😂 Edited 24 August 2020 by mazarron fox 14 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
