Manchester City is already thinking about the future, and one of the names that has strongly entered their list of targets is James Maddison. The midfielder from Tottenham has had a standout season, catching the attention of the team led by Pep Guardiola. According to various sources, the current Premier League champions are willing to put a £60 million offer on the table to secure the English talent.

Maddison has been one of the key players for Tottenham this season. With 38 games played in the Premier League and the Europa League, he has managed to score 11 goals and provide 9 assists. His vision, passing accuracy, and ability to perform in crucial moments have made him one of the most complete midfielders in the tournament.

From the Etihad Stadium, they see more than just a good player in him: they consider him as the natural successor to Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian, who has been the team's driving force for several seasons, is entering a stage where injuries and physical wear could lead City to seek new alternatives to maintain their competitive level.

The potential arrival of Maddison would not only bring freshness to the midfield but also align with the style of play that Guardiola aims to continue developing. A technical player with attacking prowess, good striking ability, and experience in English football, who could quickly adapt to the team’s functioning.

Although there is no formal offer yet, the interest is real. Tottenham, on their part, will not let him go easily as they also view him as essential to their project. However, if the offer reaches £60 million, the Spurs could be tempted to negotiate.

With the summer transfer market approaching, this move promises to be one of the most talked about if it materializes. Maddison at City would be a game-changer.
