Maguire, Chelsea’s next mercato madness ‍?

More really in the odor of sanctity at Manchester United, Harry Maguire could bounce back… at Chelsea, during the next transfer window.

Used only 16 times by Erik Ten Hag in the league this season, Harry Maguire is no longer in the odor of holiness at Manchester United. The days when the England international was an indisputable starter and captain of the Red Devils now seem a long way off. Relegated in the hierarchy of central defenders behind Varane, Martinez or Lindelöf, the former central defender of Leicester will not be retained by Manchester United in the event of a good offer this summer.

A priori, it seemed impossible for the current third in the Premier League to find a way out for Harry Maguire given his catastrophic salary and performance in recent months. The impossible could finally happen since according to information from the Sun, a club has expressed an interest in the rough English defender… Chelsea. The Blues, who have a tendency to do anything in the transfer market since the sale of the club to Todd Boehly, are really interested in Maguire.

An exchange with Mount which suits Manchester United

The British media reveals that Chelsea could include Mason Mount in the deal in order to make an exchange between the two English internationals. The Chelsea attacking midfielder refuses to extend his contract which expires in 2024 with the Blues and a departure is therefore on the agenda. He is one of the priorities of Manchester United, who would welcome his arrival and departure in return for Maguire. Few managers would accept such a deal… but those of Chelsea are interested. Suffice to say that it is a real masterstroke that Manchester United could achieve by recovering one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, while separating from a very expensive central defender who no one wants anymore.
