West Ham nears signing Manchester United’s Maguire for around £30m, resolving financial terms. Uncertainties persist, awaiting final details from Old Trafford for the defender’s potential move and increased playing time.
In a potential transfer development, West Ham United seems to be on the verge of finalizing the acquisition of Harry Maguire from Manchester United, with reports indicating a fee in the ballpark of £30 million. The move could signify a significant shift for Maguire, who has been grappling with an uncertain future at Old Trafford.
Once a pivotal figure in the Manchester United lineup, Maguire has seen his role diminish, with players like Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane surpassing him in the pecking order. This fall from grace culminated in his removal as the club’s captain, a position now held by Bruno Fernandes. As such, Maguire’s future at the club has been under scrutiny.

West Ham has emerged as a prominent admirer of the English defender, although the intricacies of the deal have been a point of contention. The proposed fee, estimated at £30 million, represents a considerable loss compared to Manchester United’s initial investment. However, given Maguire’s reduced prominence, this figure seems reasonable, according to a report by Star Sport News.
The breakthrough in the deal reportedly came after West Ham improved their wage percentage offer. While the financial terms are advancing, some final aspects concerning Maguire’s departure from Manchester United still need resolution. Though the specific details aren’t outlined in the report, there had been previous suggestions that Maguire might require compensation from his current club due to a potential reduction in his salary upon joining West Ham.
Nonetheless, if these remaining matters can be ironed out, Maguire’s personal terms with West Ham are expected to fall into place smoothly. This development has led to a sense of “cautious optimism” at West Ham that the deal can be sealed before the transfer window closes.

For Maguire, a move to West Ham would mark the conclusion of a four-year stint at Old Trafford, during which he amassed 175 appearances across various competitions. As he approaches 30 years of age, securing regular game time is crucial for maintaining his position in England’s national squad. A shift to West Ham could provide the playing time necessary to bolster his prospects ahead of Euro 2024.
