‘He’s unhappy and angry with the club’ Chelsea set to sign £30m Premier League player now
According to The Sun, there are rumors that Chelsea could make a move for Harry Maguire after Manchester United decided to remove the captaincy from him. The England international was informed of this decision by Erik ten Hag, leaving him reportedly “angry and shocked.”
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Maguire is now considering leaving Manchester United, and The Sun claims that the Red Devils are seeking £50 million for the 30-year-old defender, who has faced challenges since his £80 million transfer from Leicester in 2019. However, the high asking price is expected to be lowered to around £30 million due to limited interest from potential buyers.
Apart from Chelsea, West Ham, Tottenham, and Newcastle are also interested in signing Maguire, as well as clubs like Al-Nassr, Inter Milan, and Al-Hilal.
While Maguire is seen as a capable performer in the Premier League, the report suggests that he may not be the right fit for Mauricio Pochettino’s style of play. His lack of pace and difficulty with high lines and playing out from the back could make him a less suitable choice for Pochettino, who prefers speedy and technically skilled defenders to support his high-pressing tactics.
Given the asking price and Maguire’s perceived fit with Chelsea’s style of play, the article suggests that the club should avoid pursuing this transfer in the upcoming window.
