The second is the former Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, and after going through a rather tough negotiation process, Manchester United finally agreed to accept the fee offer from West Ham. This will be a turning point for Harry Maguire with West Ham after he is no longer believed to be in the main Red Devils squad. West Ham have been busy cooking this summer and they are trying to aim for something new besides winning the conference league title last term.
Man Utd has found a way out in the Harry Maguire deal when selling for a much lower price than expected. Previously, West Ham only accepted 20 million pounds but was not taken by Man Utd. They were forced to pay an extra £10 million. Both sides are likely to have no problems because Harry Maguire also wants to leave to save his career. Maguire will not criticize West Ham as a team without outstanding achievements. He has failed to prove himself at Old Trafford for four years. Consecutive mistakes pushed his career to the bottom. Harry Maguire lost the captaincy to Bruno Fernandes earlier this season. He was not part of Erik ten Hag's plan.
Sadly, he used to be such an expensive centercback.
£30 million paid by West Ham to sign Maguire is a reasonable fee compared to the initial £20 million that was rejected for a player signed in 2019 with a record fee of £80 million for a defender, Maguire took the decision to join West Ham for his best interest, firstly he will enjoy a regular playing time to put his international duty on track else hevwould have been benched in Man Utd by Erik ten Hag who has five defenders in the squad such as Martinez, Varane, Lindelof, Evans and Shaw, lastly there will be ease of pressure on him while playing for West Ham compared to Man Utd where too much pressure on him always resulted to commit errors during matches, I think he will settle down well and perform better in his new club.
