PSG wants to sign Manchester United star for £50 million. According to The Sun, Harry Maguire, the skipper of Manchester United, is the target of a £50 million summer transfer by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Maguire became the most costly defender in the world after the Red Devils paid Leicester City £80 million to acquire him in 2019. He was immediately named the team’s captain by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the club’s manager at the time.
Erik ten Hag, who became Manchester United’s manager last summer, has made the England international unpopular. In the hierarchy, he is below Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, and Lisandro Martinez.
It’s important to note that in the team’s previous eight Premier League games, Maguire has only played one. There have been rumors about his long-term prospects at Old Trafford due to his decreased involvement.
The aforementioned source claims that PSG has become a possible destination for the central defense. Since Sergio Ramos, 36, is approaching the end of his playing career, Les Parisiens are rumored to be looking for defensive reinforcements.
The Ligue 1 powerhouses are planning to move to Maguire for £50 million. In order to entice the player to the Parc des Princes, they are also willing to equal his £200,000 per week salary.
According to reports, PSG had plans in place for the 30-year-old to join them in January. The deal, however, fell through when Christophe Galtier’s team lost the battle against time.
However, the Parisians plan to make a comeback for Maguire at the conclusion of the campaign. It is uncertain whether Manchester United will approve a £50 million move for him.
Ten Hag doesn’t care for Maguire, but if he decides to depart Old Trafford in the summer, he won’t be without options. Newcastle United is reportedly monitoring his status in addition to PSG.
According to a recent story, the defender is wanted by a number of Premier League teams, including the Magpies. Manchester United is ready to let the player leave at the conclusion of the current campaign.
However, if there is a chance of making the move permanent, the Red Devils are reportedly willing to take a loan agreement. They reportedly favor an outright sale. Maguire remaining in Ten Hag’s ranks is also not something Ten Hag is opposed to.
Gareth Southgate, the manager of the England national team, continues to hold Maguire in high esteem. The PSG target is anticipated to debut for the Three Lions against Italy and Ukraine later this month in the UEFA Euro qualifiers.
