Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will not be making a move to West Ham United during this summer transfer window.
As per credible sources, Maguire had been pursuing a £15 million payout from United, a notable increase of £9 million from the initial offer extended to him.
Initially, the Hammers had been eager to secure a £30 million transfer deal for the talented England international. However, recent developments have led them to explore other options due to the 30-year-old’s specific requirements within his current club.
Insiders familiar with Maguire’s stance have emphasized that he holds West Ham in high regard. Yet, it’s important to clarify that there was never a formal accord reached regarding personal terms between him and the club.
Expressing his sentiments, sources in close proximity to Maguire have affirmed that he maintains a strong sense of commitment to United. He genuinely cherishes the club and holds the belief that he will continue to be presented with ample opportunities to showcase his prowess on the field.
Earlier today, David Moyes’s team reached a point of impatience as they awaited the defender’s departure from Old Trafford.
Maguire was a consistent presence during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure, and the manager’s unwavering trust in him led to him being bestowed with the captain’s armband.
Nevertheless, his performances have not met the expectations of the current manager, Erik Ten Hag, resulting in him relinquishing the captaincy to Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
