Newcastle shows keenness in signing £35m Tottenham target hailed as ‘fantastic’

Harry Maguire has received a green light from Erik ten Hag to exit Manchester United, with his services arousing substantial interest from various clubs.

As reported by 90Min, Ten Hag hinted to Maguire that seeking a transfer might benefit everyone involved. The United manager has stripped Maguire of his captaincy and simultaneously gave the English defender the liberty to move on.

In addition, 90Min revealed that West Ham and Newcastle have shown enthusiasm for signing Maguire, with several Italian clubs also eager to get the tall defender on their side.

Maguire’s career at Old Trafford has seen a notable dip since Ten Hag took over. He is currently lagging behind Varane and Martinez in the selection priority, and it’s speculated that the £80m signing is likely to seek a fresh start.

Newcastle’s interest in Maguire could spark curiosity from Tottenham, who are rumored to have their eyes on the ex-Sheffield United defender as well.

Earlier speculations indicated that Maguire might be up for grabs for approximately £35m. However, his impressive salary could be a hurdle, requiring any interested party to negotiate terms with the defender before striking a deal.

Urgent need for a new beginning

Despite encountering backlash from some quarters on social media, Harry Maguire remains a highly skilled defender.

His consistent selection for international games is a testament to his ability. There is a strong chance that a switch to a new club could help rejuvenate his career.

Newcastle is a respectable, emerging club. Eddie Howe has proven his knack for extracting the best from his players, and a move to the northeast may appeal to Maguire.

The club which ultimately recruits Maguire will gain a seasoned professional who is enthusiastic about demonstrating his worth once more.
