I do think Tarkowski is better than Dunk and would expect Leicester to look that way first.

A Leeds fan has already described Ben White as *like Baresi in his pomp*.
So there is our ready made replacement.... next summer...

Sadly we’re not a big enough club to entice proper quality players to sit on the bench, hence Burn, Clarke and Balogun are from the Championship, League One and a free transfer, respectively. I’m sure they can all do a job, but I’m not convinced one of them can step into Dunk’s boots.

Has he based that opinion on a pre-season game against Guisely?

My guess would be that Burnley would let Tarkowski go for less than we’d be prepared to sell Dunk for. Burnley are very happy spinning quick profits on players as I’m sure they’ll already have a replacement lined up.

A friend if mine is a scout in the Championship. He's a big fan of White, and believes he could go to the very top.
Subjectively (with my own eyes), I think Dunk (currently) is better than both Maguire and Tarkowski. Not much of an age difference either. All are too slow for England, a CL side, or top 6 PL first team regular. All will be better off staying where they are. Except that sixth place in the PL may be up for grabs if United sign Maguire.

Dunno if this is fixtures but BBC teletext Gossip pages currently saying (quoting The Sun) that ManU have agreed £60M + £20M add-ons for Maguire with a medical taking place today.They also report the same paper as saying a £45M deal with Leicester has been agreed for Dunk

This is way too pedantic but to be clear.
The BBC have "picked up on it" but only in sense , as you say , its in their transfer rumour page which summarises tabloid transfer rumours - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip
And since that initial story in The Sun, Journalists from The Sun !!, The Argus, Talk Sport have all denied that any bid for Dunk has been agreed, let alone made, calling it "premature".
Yeah, the BBC gossip feed just picks up and regurgitates everything it finds. As far as I can tell, they rarely do any actual journalism before reposting on that feed.

And this is the summer transfer window in a nutshell. I know that Naylor has his critics, but at least there is a shred of credibility to what he posts. So many of the rumour sites (and even some newspaper sites) run premature headlines.
From what I can make out: a) Dunk is on a list of potential replacements should Maguire move to Manchester United. b) Some discussion about the Albion valuing Dunk at about £40 million (not least to ward off interest in one of our best players).
(a) + (b) = The Sun's rumour that it's all done and dusted.
