 "EPL: Will Manchester United's Maguire move to West Ham for $38 million?")
Manchester United and West Ham United are said to have agreed principally on the transfer deal of former's defender Harry Maguire. Maguire, who also captained Man Utd before the duties were passed on to Bruno Fernandes, seems to have no issues at all with the 30 million pounds ($38 million) transfer deal between the two English clubs.
Harry Maguire's transfer history
Maguire, who has made 175 appearances for the Red Devils, was signed in 2019 by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a whopping 86 million pounds from Leicester City. The 30-year-old had come to Leicester from Hull City in 2017 for 13.7 million pounds.
Before that, Maguire played for Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United, having started his senior career at the latter.
Manchester United, who have already had big signings of Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, Chelsea man Mason Mount and Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana this season, have their eyes on French defender Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice. If not Todibo, the Erik Tan Hag side might get in Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard, who is also a French man as a replacement for Maguire in central defence.
