LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) Harry Maguire is allegedly likely to remain at Old Trafford after his £30 million ($38 million) deal from Manchester United to West Ham fell through.
The Guardian reports that because the United center-back has not yet agreed to his release conditions with the club, the Hammers have withdrawn from the signing agreement.
Since moving to the London Stadium would require him to accept a drastic pay reduction, it is thought that Maguire wants at least £7 million as a payoff to leave Old Trafford.
West Ham has become impatient with the delay and is already concentrating on possible replacements for Maguire.
They think Maguire is a little bit sluggish than they would like and should use a speedier center-back.
As a result, they have chosen Jonathan Tah and Odilon Kossounou of Leverkusen as their top two picks.
Erik ten Hag has made it obvious that the England international is not in his plans, so United must search for alternative ways to get rid of Maguire.
