Currently, all 31 players, coaching staff and medical staff of Leicester City are present at the Evian Center, France to train and prepare for the new season. Here, Maguire revealed to some of his teammates that he was ready to leave.
Not only confiding his teammates, Maguire also shared his wishes with coach Brendan Rodgers about his wishes. The English midfielder hopes that the negotiation process will be more favorable between the two clubs.
12 months ago, in Jose Mourinho's list of 5 players that need to be bought urgently, Maguire and Alderweireld were the two central defenders that made the "Special One" eager to bring to Old Trafford. Although Mourinho is no longer in charge, current coach Solskjaer is determined to pursue the "Fox" star.
Harry Maguire has emerged as one of the top defenders since the 2018 World Cup. He and the "Three Lions" reached the semi-finals and only regrettably lost to Croatia.
In the club shirt, Maguire's excellence also contributed a lot to Leicester's overall success last season.
Manchester City have also offered Maguire a replacement for Kompany after the Belgian legend left the club. However, the price ranging from 75 - 90 million pounds is too much for Man City at the moment.
Not that The Citizens are lacking money, they are being "squeezed" by UEFA and FIFA due to financial imbalance and could also be banned from playing in the Champions League next season.
Leicester will sell Maguire when asked by this central defender. Coach Rodgers will be given money to find replacement signatures like James Tarkowski and Lewis Dunk who were previously contacted.
Man United need at least two more defensive players after the addition of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. After that, they gradually pushed their investment to the top line with the target of Bruno Fernandes of Sporting Lisbon or Sean Longstaff from Newcastle.
