_Tired of waiting, West Ham give up signing 'former Manchester United captain' Maguire
West Ham United has withdrawn its intention to sign Manchester United's "former captain" Harry Maguire.
According to the British daily Guardian and sports media The Athletic on the 15th (local time), West Ham eventually decided to give up the recruitment of Maguire as the transfer process kept getting delayed.
West Ham had agreed with Manchester United to pay 30 million pounds (approximately 51 billion won) as a transfer fee. 카지노사이트
In addition, an agreement was reached between West Ham and the player, so it seemed that the transfer would proceed without difficulty.
However, the 'compensation negotiation' between Maguire, who was about to leave, and Man United, who was about to leave, did not progress.
The weekly wage that Maguire will receive at the time of transfer will inevitably be reduced.
At Manchester United, he was able to get a weekly wage increase due to advancing to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL), but it is difficult at West Ham, who finished the 2022-2023 season in 14th place.
When there was no sign of a solution between Maguire and Man Utd, who demanded compensation for the reduction in weekly wages, eventually West Ham withdrew from the transfer first.
According to the Guardian, the amount of compensation Maguire wants is around 7 million pounds (about 12 billion won).
Maguire wore the captain's armband for Manchester United in January 2020 and played an active role as a defender, but his position has narrowed since the appointment of manager Eric Ten Hag in April of last year.
Coach Tenhach prefers Rafael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as central defensive resources instead of Maguire, who is slow-footed and less agile.
Maguire played 16 regular league games last season, but was pushed out of the control tower's attention to the extent that he only started 8 times.
On the 17th, he suffered the humiliation of returning even the captain's armband.
In a situation where manager Tenhach also wanted Maguire to leave, West Ham manager David Moyce showed interest, but in the end the transfer did not come through.
The Guardian and The Athletic reported that West Ham, who had given up on signing Maguire, is now looking for an alternative.
Maguire's contract with Manchester United runs through 2025.
There is no team that has shown a clear intention to recruit like West Ham, so there is a high probability that they will continue to live with 'uncomfortable cohabitation' for the time being.
On the 17th of last month, when Maguire was deprived of the captaincy, he
directly expressed regret through social media (SNS), saying, “I am very disappointed._
