In terms of price tag, Melissa Reddy of Sky Sports recently reported that Man United want £40million for Maguire.
However, she speculated that “a compromise in the region of £35million could see a transfer happen.
“So West Ham United are not so far off in terms of price points for Maguire.”
Maguire’s stock may have fallen somewhat in recent years, but there’s still a great player in there.
After all, you wouldn’t seal a big-money move to Man United if you weren’t one of the best.
Indeed, Pep Guardiola reportedly wanted him to replace Vincent Kompany at Manchester City.
A change of scenery would be the best thing for him, and West Ham could well revive his career.
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks, but this looks like a promising lead for the Hammers.
