Harry Maguire has reportedly turned down five formal bids from both Premier League clubs and Serie A sides, according to the Daily Mail. Despite significant interest from teams including Fenerbahce, Besiktas, Galatasaray, Monaco, and Marseille, the veteran centre-back has expressed a clear intention to continue his career at Old Trafford.
Since arriving from Leicester City in 2019 for a record £80 million, the England international has remained a central figure in United’s defensive setup. Though his journey has included challenges, including losing the captain’s armband in 2023 under Erik ten Hag and nearly joining West Ham, Maguire has experienced a resurgence in form.
Now 32, the defender has become a respected presence at the club and is understood to be eager to see out his playing days with the Red Devils. His loyalty is seen as a strong statement of belief in Manchester United’s direction under new head coach Rúben Amorim.
Leadership and resilience key to Maguire’s revival
Maguire’s renewed form and consistency have made him an important contributor during what has been a difficult transition period for Amorim in the Premier League. His dominance in aerial duels and his experience in organizing the backline have provided much-needed stability for United’s defense.
Talks are reportedly underway regarding a contract extension, which would offer Maguire long-term certainty about his future at the club. He is expected to play a central role in the team’s 2025–26 campaign.
Speaking about the club’s expectations, Maguire has acknowledged that Manchester United must meet their objectives in the upcoming season, stating there are no justifications for underachievement. His statement reflects a growing sense of accountability within the squad as they aim for success in the new era.
