Coming Live From Fabrizio Romano, 🚨 JUST IN, Manchester United Are Reportedly Finalizing An Audacious Swap Deal With A Premier League Rival, Offering Harry Maguire As Part Of The Package.

The impending summer transfer window presents Manchester United with another opportunity to potentially part ways with center-back Harry Maguire. Despite previous uncertainties and rumors last summer linking him to a possible move to West Ham, Maguire has notably improved his performance recently and has emerged as one of Erik ten Hag’s most dependable players.

This current scenario contrasts starkly with last summer when Maguire’s form was inconsistent. While there’s no indication that Maguire himself wants to depart from Old Trafford, recent reports hint that Manchester United could be exploring options involving a swap deal, offering Maguire plus cash in exchange for West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta.

At first glance, some may argue that Manchester United would be getting the better end of the deal. However, it’s important to consider that Paqueta has previously shown a willingness to leave East London, particularly after a potential move to Manchester City fell through.

Therefore, West Ham might not view receiving a substantial sum of money along with a revitalized Maguire as a poor deal. The outcome of this potential transfer is expected to heavily depend on the performance of both clubs for the remainder of the season and the offers presented to the players involved.

With Manchester City seemingly no longer pursuing the Brazilian player, it could pave the way for their main rivals to make their own bid, further influencing the dynamics of the transfer negotiations.
