“After a year in which they were kicked out of European competitions, Juventus is looking for new signings for 2023/2024, seeking to reinforce its defensive plot with a totally unexpected player — Manchester United’s English center-back Harry Maguire.
“The departure of key players such as Chiellini have meant Juventus have lost a defensive leader. Which is why they have thought of Harry Maguire.”
One player whose future has been uncertain ever since the Dutch manager took over is Harry Maguire. The English centre-back dropped to fifth in the pecking order, behind even full-back Luke Shaw.
To add insult to injury, the 30-year-old was also stripped of the club captaincy. While Ten Hag has publicly reiterated his desire to keep the England international, there is a growing possibility that he departs before the transfer window closes.
Manchester United are close to announcing the transfer of Rasmus Hojlund who is having a medical at Carrington. Now the focus will shift to outgoings.
It will be interesting to see whether Juventus can afford the player’s wages which have proved a major obstacle for quite a few sides while United want a big fee to part ways with the defender.
From a guaranteed starter under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to starting only eight times in the Premier League last season, the England international’s stock has fallen rapidly under the Dutchman.
Now as per Fichajes, Juventus are said to be eyeing a possible deal for Maguire. Max Allegri wants defensive stability following Giorgio Chiellini’s departure while Leonardo Bonucci is also being linked with a move away.
West Ham recently saw £20million bid get rejected with the former Leicester City man looking to move to a bigger club. Even Everton have been linked with a move.
In order for more signings to happen, the club will need to offload first-team stars with a lot of recent reports linking Fred and Donny van de Beek with imminent exits.
He lost his preferred left centre-back role and national team manager Gareth Southgate has also warned him of the repercussions should his club minutes not improve.
