Leicester Set to Reward Star Defender With New Contract to Ward Off Interest From Other Clubs

Leicester City plan to offer centre-back Harry Maguire a bumper new contract to fend off any interest accrued from bigger clubs following some stellar World Cup displays.

According to the Times, the Foxes are set to make Maguire one of their highest-paid players alongside the likes of Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy, with the defender in line to earn around £120,000 per week should he put pen to paper on a new deal.

While Maguire is already under contract with Leicester until 2022, other clubs are bound to be interested following the defender's impressive transition to the international stage and the club's hierarchy will surely act to prevent his departure this summer.
