Man United is in trouble with ask price for Harry Maguire. Harry Maguire is reportedly valued at £50 million by Manchester United. Samuel Luckhurst, the editor-in-chief of the Manchester Evening News, reported the aforementioned number on Monday, July 10.
However, the writer believes that the valuation is too high for the defender, and the team will have trouble finding bids that are comparable to the stated amount. Furthermore, should the Red Devils refuse to decrease their asking price, the £50 million price tag would make it more difficult for Maguire to find a new team this season.
The 30-year-old center-back’s current deal with Manchester United runs through 2025. He moved there from Leicester City in the summer of 2019 for a record-breaking £80 million for a defender.
The former Hull City defender played most of last season’s Premier League for Manchester United off the bench. Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Victor Lindelof were preferred to the England international by manager Erik ten Hag. Last season, he made just eight starts in the league.
Maguire will speak with ten Hag in the coming days, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said on his daily updates portal, Here We Go Live. According to Football 365, the defender has been linked to transfers to Premier League teams West Ham United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Maguire has made 175 appearances for the team since moving to Old Trafford in 2019 and has scored seven goals in all competitions.
By Wednesday or Thursday, according to Romano, Manchester United should have the Onana transaction finalized:
On Monday, July 10, Fabrizio Romano said that Manchester United is getting close to signing Andre Onana. The transfer specialist estimates that the Red Devils will close the deal by Wednesday or Thursday this week.
The custodian and Manchester United have already reached a personal agreement, and the last phase of talks will shortly be finished. According to The Guardian, Inter Milan is apparently anticipating a bid of £42.7 million in order to part ways with their custodian.
Onana will reportedly sign a four-year contract with a one-year extension option, according to Romano. The custodian transferred from Ajax to Inter Milan in the summer of 2022, and since then, he has made 41 appearances for the team, recording 19 shutouts.
David De Gea just left United after serving the team for 12 years. The Spanish goalie took home two Golden Gloves. In the previous season, he excelled as a shot-stopper as well, recording 17 Premier League clean sheets.
De Gea’s departure from the team is likely due to his ongoing inability to distribute the ball from the back and some important miscues in goal. De Gea may not be the best player to have on your club because Ten Hag is assembling a group that can develop from the backup.
