In 2019 Manchester United paid $88 million to Leicester City to take Harry Maguire. This sent shockwaves around the world as he became the most expensive defender in the history of soccer. His arrival generated great expectation among fans, who were confident that the player would become a star of the team and help them return to being the Premier League's top side.
However, things did not turn out as expected. In his 4 seasons at the Red Devils, Maguire was never able to perform at the high level he had shown at his previous club and disappointed everyone with many mistakes that ended in goals from opposing teams. This led coach Erik Ten Hag to request the hiring of Lisandro Martinez to take his place.
Already with no chance of being part of the starting lineup, the last offense for the center-back was the decision to take the team captaincy away from him to give it to Bruno Fernandes. Thus, the manager showed that he has no intention of keeping him in the squad. That is why his departure this summer is an increasingly close possibility.
According to Corriere della Sera, Italy's top clubs are interested in signing Maguire for next season. Juventus, AC Milan, Inter, AS Roma and Napoli are all vying to sign him. And they are not the only ones, as David Moyes also intends to add him to West Ham, a destination that would be more comfortable for the player, as it would allow him to stay in England.
Maguire's poor performances made that today he is far from the almost $90 million that Manchester United paid for him. According to Transfermarkt, his market value currently stands at $20 million, less than a quarter of what he was worth in 2019.
