Newcastle looking to raid Premier League giants for £80m star defender

Posted by

Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing the Manchester United defender Harry Maguire at the end of the season.

A report from 90 min claims that the 30-year-old defender is on the radar of clubs like West Ham as well but the Magpies are currently in pole position to secure his services.

Manchester United paid big money for the England international defender a few years ago but he has not been able to live up to the expectations and justify his £80 million price tag.

Maguire has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and he is no longer a key starter for them.

Staying at Old Trafford might not be ideal for the player and it remains to be seen whether he is keen on a move away at the end of the season.

Newcastle could use more depth at the back and the 30-year-old could prove to be a useful addition for them. A move to St James’ Park would be ideal for the player. He would get more game time at Newcastle and that could help him get his career back on track.
