Everton plot to swoop in with Harry Maguire bid after Man Utd turn down West Ham offer for centre-back

  • Everton interested in Maguire
  • United's transfer focus on Amrabat
  • Sales pivotal for United's recruitment plans

WHAT HAPPENED? United manager Erik ten Hag is aiming to make two more signings to bolster his squad before the summer transfer window closes. In order to complete new signings, however, the club has to make sales. West Ham recently submitted a £60 million ($77m) double offer for Maguire and Scott McTominay but the club have rejected it.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: As per the Independent, Everton are now monitoring Maguire's situation after the Hammers' bid got rejected. The defender himself wants to move out of the club for more game time as it will be crucial for him ahead of Euro 2024.

AND WHAT'S MORE: The Red Devils are keen on adding midfielder Sofyan Amrabat and Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo to their roster but the signings will depend on the amount of money they will be able to generate from their sales.
