Manchester United are very keen to sell Harry Maguire in the coming transfer window, reports theDaily Mail. According to the English daily, the club of trainer Erik ten Hag is even willing to give the central defender more than eleven million euros, as long as he leaves. Maguire currently earns £200,000 a week at Old Trafford, taking a significant chunk out of the club’s salary budget. the Reds.
Maguire, who is still captain at United, was taken over from Leicester City in the summer of 2019 for no less than 87 million euros. His value is currently estimated at only thirty million euros, so that United, if they sell him, will incur a significant loss anyway. His contract in Manchester will run until mid-2025. It is not yet known whether a club has already signed up for Maguire.
The 55-time international of the national team of England cannot count on a base place under Erik ten Hag this season. The Haaksberg coach prefers central defenders Raphaël Varane, Lisandro Martínez and Victor Lindelöf over Maguire. Luke Shaw, who is naturally a left back, is also placed in the center by Ten Hag earlier than the thirty-year-old captain. Maguire has kicked off just eight Premier League games this season.
United would even have a replacement for Maguire in mind. If it succeeds in selling the big earner, Kim Min-jae will make the switch from Napoli to the Red Devils have to do, it said Foot Mercatojournalist Santi Aouna earlier this month. The South Korean mandekker has a buyout clause of fifty million euros in his contract. United will then have to act quickly: the clause only applies to the first fifteen days of July.
