AC Milan reportedly has a strong interest in signing Harry Maguire as Manchester United seeks to offload the defender.
In what appears to be a developing transfer saga, AC Milan has emerged as a potential destination for Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, as the English defender finds himself on the periphery of the squad. Maguire’s standing at Manchester United saw a noticeable decline following the arrival of Erik ten Hag as manager last year, a trend exacerbated by the acquisitions of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.
While Maguire has managed to secure playing time in recent matches for the Red Devils, the impending return of Martinez and Varane from injury is poised to relegate him back to the substitute bench. It’s worth noting that during the summer transfer window, Maguire was on the brink of leaving Old Trafford, with a proposed move to West Ham in the pipeline. However, the deal fell through, as Maguire decided to stay and fight for his place at Manchester United.
Nevertheless, the 30-year-old has recently made his intentions clear, stating, “I am not going to sit here all my life and play once a month.” This candid declaration has alerted several clubs to his potential availability.
talkSPORT reports that AC Milan is among the interested parties, and they are not alone, with several Italian clubs monitoring the situation closely. West Ham, who previously pursued Maguire, might also rekindle their interest in the talented English defender.
The transfer window promises to be an intriguing time for Maguire as clubs vie for his signature.
Harry Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester in 2019, and has been a mainstay in the English National Team.
