Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been linked with a move away from the club, and he has offered himself to Real Madrid.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Harry Maguire has been offered to Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The experienced defender has managed to regain his form and confidence in recent months, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for the Spanish club. They need more depth in the squad after losing Eder Militao to a long-term hamstring injury, and the England international would be a squad option for them.
However, the report claims that the deal will be difficult. Real Madrid are not looking to make reactive signings right now, and they are planning for the long run. Therefore, they are unlikely to take up the opportunity to move for Maguire. Similarly, they have ruled out the possibility of signing John Stones.
Eder Militao is currently sidelines with a hamstring injury, and Real Madrid could use a central defender in January. There is no doubt that Maguire would have been useful for them in the short term. However, the Merengues are looking ahead and they do not want to move for the short term.
Where will Maguire end up?
Meanwhile, Harry Maguire will be out of contract at Manchester United at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if the English club is willing to offer him an extension. Apart from the Englishman’s quality, his experience and leadership skills could prove to be very useful for the club.
Manchester United are looking to build a quality team to challenge for major trophies. They need leaders and experience at their disposal. Maguire would be a very useful option for them in the short term. The English defender will want to continue at a high level as well. Staying at Manchester United might be ideal for him.
It remains to be seen whether he can convince the club to offer him a short extension. The player has had a mixed spell at Manchester United since joining them. The 32-year-old joined them for a substantial amount of money, and he was heavily criticised for his inconsistent performances. However, he has proven himself to be a useful player over the years.
