Manchester United could be forced to pay up to £10m to fast-track Harry Maguire’s transfer to West Ham, after agreeing to sell the defender.
Manchester United have agreed a £30m deal with the Hammers after initially rejecting offers of £20m as well as a joint proposal for Maguire and Scott McTominay.
Maguire will now travel to London for negotiations and personal terms are unlikely to be an issue, with West Ham manager David Moyes’ admiration for the England international seen as a key selling point.
However, Maguire will likely be forced to accept a significantly lower salary than he receives at Old Trafford, as the 30-year-old has two more years left on his current contract, which stands at £190,000 a year. week, according to local news.
And according to the DailyMail, Erik ten Hag’s side could compensate the former club captain for the amount of the difference in order to complete the transfer, which would amount to a total of just under £10m.
