Harry Maguire Closer to Joining Manchester United

DBasia.news –  Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Leicester City to recruit 26-year-old defender, Harry Maguire. He will be purchased for 80 million pounds.

The transfer price, if realized, will make him the world’s most expensive defender above Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool defender, who has a £ 75 million tag. According to reports from British media, Maguire had also asked to leave Leicester and say goodbye to his team mates.

The indication of Harry Maguire’s departure to Old Trafford is increasingly evident as according to news published by the Foxes of Leicester, the Foxes have agreed to purchase the Brighton & Hove Albion defender, Lewis Dunk, for 45 million pounds.

Dunk is a central defender and that could be an indication of Maguire’s departure to United. Leicester have anticipated his departure by purchasing a player who plays as a central defender and also has experience playing in the Premier League.

Aside from indications of Leicester’s transfer movement, Man United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insistence on getting him can also assimilate Leicester and Maguire would be tempted to leave.

Kaveh Solhekol, a Sky Sports reporter, said that Man United needed Maguire more than any other team that was after him, Manchester City. Maguire can close the gap on United’s back line.

“There is not a single club that has approached Leicester’s £ 75 million mark. I think if anyone does it, then Harry Maguire will leave Leicester this summer,” Kaveh said, quoted from Sky Sports.

“I am in an ideal world, he wants to play in the Champions League and it’s clear he won’t get it if he plays next season at Manchester United.”

“But, I think the situation, Manchester United needs him more, Manchester United wants him more and they are willing to pay more than Manchester City at the moment,” Kaveh said.
