Manchester United has rejected many suggestions from Premier League and Serie A clubs for Harry Maguire.
MU denied many suggestions to buy Harry Maguire
Although no extension agreement has been placed on the negotiating table, the interested teams have received a clear message: Harry Maguire will stay at Old Trafford for a long time, even to end his career here.
This summer, three teams in the UK and two representatives from Italy have approached the 32 -year -old center -back, but all were rejected. The current contract of Maguire, with a salary of 190,000 pounds/week, will maturity at the end of the next season. Although the player did not comment, many sources said that Maguire wanted to stick with the “Red Devils”, the team he joined from Leicester City in 2019 with a world record price for a defender of £ 80 million.

Maguire's ambition is not only to remain Old Trafford, but also to follow the legends honored by United fans such as Denis Irwin, Gary Pallister, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson, names associated with the stability of the defense and the blood of the “Red Devils” in the past.
Even so, the farewell prospect is still not completely excluded. With 64 captures of England, Maguire is an experienced name and still has a great attraction in the transfer market.
If an agreement is not reached with Manchester United, Maguire can completely sign a contract with foreign teams from January, 6 months before the maturity contract. At that time, the prospect of getting free in the summer of 2026 was completely possible.
Some teams are still closely monitoring the situation. Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are thought to be very eager to reunite with his former students in Türkiye. Galatasaray is also a potential destination, while the two representatives of Ligue 1 are Monaco and Marseille are still waiting for a move from the British center -back.
If extended, it will be a spectacular turning point in Maguire's career, who was deprived of the captain's armband under Erik Ten Hag and almost left MU to go to West Ham in the summer of 2023.
But everything has been alternating since Ruben Amorim took over the training chair. At the hands of the Portuguese strategist, Maguire revived strongly and occupied the main stone. Sometimes, he was also pushed to play as a striker thanks to his impressive non-fighting ability, as a decisive scoring situation in the dramatic victory 5-4 against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals in April.
Last January, Manchester United activated an extra one -year extension in Maguire's contract. He was also given the captain's armband when Bruno Fernandes was absent, as a recognition for the silent but increasingly important role in the “Red Devils” dressing room.
