(Football News) Keeping Maguire as the focal point, reports from diverse media outlets suggest that West Ham United and Manchester United, both Premier League participants, have come to a preliminary arrangement regarding the transfer of English defender Harry Maguire. According to both Sky Sports television and the BBC, the deal is valued at approximately 30 million pounds ($38 million), and it appears that finalizing personal terms is not anticipated to pose any difficulties.
Having seen a decline in his role at Manchester United, with just eight Premier League starts in the previous season and significant time spent on the bench or sidelined due to injuries, Maguire lost his captaincy under manager Erik ten Hag last month. With the Euro 2024 championships on the horizon next year, Harry is seeking more playing time to secure his position in England manager Gareth Southgate’s plans.
Gareth Southgate remarked in May that the current situation cannot persist indefinitely, considering Maguire’s substantial contributions to the national team, boasting 57 senior caps for England.
Back in 2019, when Manchester United acquired him from Leicester City, Maguire became the world’s most expensive defender with an 80 million-pound transfer fee. His contract with the club is set to expire in 2025.
