According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United declined several offers this summer regarding the transfer of Harry Maguire. The English club is determined to retain the 32-year-old defender for next season, a will shared by the player himself, whose contract runs until 2026. Although Turkish clubs like Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray are closely following its evolution, French teams, including the Olympique de Marseille and Monaco, keep an eye on the Maguire dossier. An end-of-contract finish in 2026 is considered a sound strategy for these clubs.

Under Ruben Amorim’s leadership at Sporting Lisbon, Harry Maguire has regained a central role and is distinguished by his outstanding physical qualities (1m94), leadership and powerful lead. This last quality proved to be particularly detrimental to the Olympique de Marseille in the last match, where a corner goal was scored thanks to a lead game. This experience could encourage French clubs to consider Maguire as a potential reinforcement.

Although a transfer to Marseille or Monaco may surprise, the world of football is known for its unpredictable twists. The situation of Harry Maguire therefore remained open, and a movement in France, although unlikely, could not be totally excluded. The growing interest of French clubs reflects the player’s still recognized value and its potential to strengthen the defences of these teams.
