Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is nearing the end of his contract at the club.
According to a report from Fichajes, they would be willing to offer him a renewal if he is willing to take a pay cut. The 32-year-old defender will be a free agent at the end of the season.
The defender currently earns around £190,000 per week and Manchester United no longer want to pay him that kind of money. They would be willing to renew his contract if he is willing to accept a shorter contract with performance-based incentives.
Saudi clubs are keeping tabs on Maguire.
New deal for Harry Maguire?
It will be interesting to see if the England international is prepared to accept these terms. He has been an important player for the club and keeping him would also be ideal for Manchester United. The opportunity to continue at Old Trafford could be exciting for the defender.
Maguire will want to compete at the highest level and staying at Manchester United would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether he is ready to renew his contract with the club.
Manchester United have struggled since joining in 2019 and will look to bounce back strongly. They are hoping to win major trophies in the near future, and Maguire will certainly want to be part of their project.
Maguire staying would be ideal
In addition to his quality as a defender, his experience and leadership could prove valuable to Manchester United. They’re going through a tough time and they need leaders like him in the locker room.
Both parties are expected to look to continue the partnership for the time being. This could prove extremely beneficial for both parties. The defender has shown that he is capable of competing at the highest level and he could also continue to help Manchester United in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are also interested in La Liga defender David Affengruber.
