According to ESPN, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have been given the opportunity to sign Manchester United defender Harry Maguire in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Maguire had a challenging season in 2022/23, making only eight Premier League starts under manager Erik Ten Hag. As a result, there are speculations about his potential departure from the club.
The report suggests that Spurs and West Ham have been presented with the chance to pursue a deal for the England international.
The Man United captain currently earns a weekly wage of approximately £200,000, which could potentially increase if United qualifies for the Champions League.

Therefore, if he were to join Spurs or West Ham, he might need to accept a lower salary. West Ham’s interests reportedly depend on manager David Moyes remaining at the club.
According to the article, the 30-year-old centre-back has been a valuable acquisition for the Red Devils, particularly in situations requiring defensive clearances and winning aerial duels.
However, he has encountered difficulties when it comes to playing out from the back against high-pressing opponents. As a result, the club is in need of a significant upgrade in that position.
Napoli’s Kim Min-jae is said to be their primary target, and his signing would be highly beneficial. The club’s management hopes to facilitate Maguire’s departure, and it remains to be seen if Tottenham Hotspur or West Ham United will make a formal offer for him.
