According to reports, West Ham is about to rekindle their interest in Harry Maguire, the captain of Manchester United.
The defender has only started seven Premier League games after falling out of favor during the campaign. Luke Shaw is now preferred, along with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and others.
The 30-year-old is widely expected to quit Old Trafford this summer as a result. According to The Manchester Evening News, Erik ten Hag will make several players available for purchase this summer, including Harry Maguire.
According to ESPN, West Ham is one among the teams considering a move for the England star. The London club allegedly approached United about Maguire in January and is anticipated to reapply for him this summer.
Newcastle is reportedly keeping an eye on Scott McTominay, despite the fact that the Magpies disagree with United's £40 million valuation of the Scot. It's expected that United will let more players go this transfer window in order to pay for new additions.
Kim Min-jae's interest in joining United is known to Napoli, according to Il Mattino (via Inside Futbol). Although the player's entourage publicly denied claims that a contract had been reached this week.
The Serie A champions have reportedly acknowledged United's interest, according to the most recent Italian reports, and the Reds are ready to use Kim's purported £56 million buyout clause. It further states that Napoli is content with the 26-year-old World Cup star leaving the team this summer.
Kim Min Jae's camp refutes Man United's rumors
The representative of Kim Min-jae, a defender for Napoli, has refuted persistent rumors that Manchester United is moving through with a deal to recruit the South Korean international.
The centre-back has been extensively linked to United in recent weeks, who will be hoping to make another huge step toward earning Champions League qualifying when they play Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. In the event that either Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelof leaves the team this coming summer, the Reds may look to sign a new central defender.
After a brilliant debut season with Napoli, Kim is now regarded as one of the most sought-after center backs in Europe. He transferred from Turkish club Fenerbahce to the recently crowned Italian champions last summer, and he has had a fantastic first season at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The 26-year-old's potential transfer to United was said to be moving forward, according to a report earlier this week from the Italian news outlet II Matino. This suggests that middlemen involved in the talks were successful in persuading Kim to sign with the team based in Manchester. However, his representative has dismissed such allegations, stating that the defender is only concerned with finishing the season as well as possible with Napoli.
"The transfer to Manchester United is not true," the Napoli defender's agent told Star News. "Currently, Kim Min-jae is focusing on finishing the season."
"In the case of the English Premier League, the qualification to the Champions League or the final standings have not been decided. There is no need to move."
