MANCHESTER CITY are interested in a making a bid for James Maddison this summer, while Premier League rivals have made their research about the availability of the Leicester city's defender this month.



Manchester City who have let the angry Joao Cancelo exit for Bayern Munich, will have to be active ahead of next season, with the future of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva uncertain.



Joao Cancelo, 26, will soon be entering the final 12 months of his £100,000-a-week contract at the King Power Stadium and he has not shown impulse so far to pen an extension. Leicester City are growingly unlikely to be able to hold on to Maddison in the summer, even if they avoid relegation.
