Since his €87 million move to Manchester United, Harry Maguire has struggled to become a symbol of defensive reliability, often finding himself the target of fan ridicule. However, his former club appears undeterred by the criticism.
Details: According to The Telegraph, Leicester City is exploring the possibility of signing the 31-year-old defender. Maguire originally joined Manchester United from Leicester, and his current contract with the Red Devils expires next summer.
If the parties fail to agree on a new deal, the center-back would be free to join another club on a free transfer starting July 1, 2025. A crucial factor in the negotiation process could be Maguire’s familiarity with current Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who previously worked on Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff. After ten Hag’s dismissal, van Nistelrooy temporarily took charge of United before Ruben Amorim’s arrival.
Reminder: Maguire has made 14 appearances across all competitions this season.
