Manchester United's £30m sale of central defender Harry Maguire has officially fallen through!
British Sky Sports said that West Ham United will not continue to promote the introduction of his deal, and Ten Hag is also willing to keep Harry Maguire. He has always insisted that Harry Maguire is an important member of the team and is happy Let him stay in the team to compete for a position.
A source close to Maguire told Sky Sports: "Harry (Maguire) has respect for West Ham and Moyes, but to be clear there was never an agreement between Harry and West Ham. The media described it so deeply, for example, that Harry never spoke to Moyes. Harry is still very stable at Manchester United, he loves the club and believes that he will get many opportunities this season."
The British "Guardian" claimed that West Ham was tired of endless waiting and planned to find another new central defender. Maguire could not reach an agreement with Manchester United on transfer compensation. The club is willing to give up to 6 million pounds, while Maguire's request is 7 million or even 15 million pounds!
It is reported that Manchester United is also worried that Maguire's departure at such a late summer window will leave him no time to introduce a replacement. Mr. £80m staying could have a knock-on effect on Manchester United's transfer plans. The club had already negotiated with Bayern Munich to sign the French defender Benjamin Pavard, but now it seems unlikely, because there is no need to buy a new central defender if Maguire stays in the team.
In addition, there are restrictions on the financial fair play rules of the Premier League and UEFA. Manchester United cannot obtain funds from the sale of Maguire and cannot buy players. In addition to Pavard, Manchester United also conducted due diligence on several other defenders, including Nice's Jean-Claire Todibo. However, the premise of signing is to clean up the existing players in the same position.
However, the British media claimed that although the transfer will not advance at present, there is still a certain possibility that it will be restarted later this month. This may be a "negotiation strategy". "The Guardian"'s Jamie Jackson analyzed: "I don't think West Ham will go to the point where they will withdraw completely. My interpretation is that this is a negotiating tactic because Maguire's income at Manchester United and West Ham's The income gap. According to reliable sources, Maguire’s weekly salary at Manchester United is about 190,000 pounds, while his weekly salary at West Ham is only 100,000 to 110,000 pounds. That’s about 6 million to 7 million A gap in the pound, so they're haggling. I'd be surprised if the deal didn't end up happening."
Whether 캡포탈's statement is true can only be verified by waiting for the last half month of the summer transfer window. But if Maguire stays at Manchester United in the end, many fans joked that he rarely successfully completed a dangerous situation.
