MU Transfer News 6/10

Harry Maguire’s route to Saudi Arabia becomes clearer

The future of center-back Harry Maguire is becoming a hot topic at Old Trafford. According to British media, the English defender is likely to leave Manchester United in the summer of 2025 to join the Saudi Pro League.

Maguire’s current contract runs until June 2026 after MU triggered an extension clause last summer. However, the Red Devils’ management has no plans for a longer renewal. Sources from the UK reveal that both Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq have reached out, ready to submit lucrative offers to acquire the 32-year-old defender.

Joining Al-Nassr would give Maguire the chance to reunite with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, while enjoying attractive financial terms in the final years of his career. Maguire himself has said he “still loves Manchester United but needs to consider future plans at the right time.” If the transfer happens, it could be a smooth farewell after six turbulent years.

Ruben Amorim sets sights on Emiliano Martinez

Following the win against Sunderland, coach Ruben Amorim has started planning for the winter transfer window. According to Football Insider, his top priority is to bring in a high-caliber goalkeeper to strengthen the defense.

The target is 33-year-old Emiliano Martinez, the 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina. Martinez was on MU’s radar last summer, but the deal collapsed at the last moment because Aston Villa refused to sell. Former chief scout Mick Brown revealed: “Martinez wanted to join Old Trafford, and MU wanted him too, but they couldn’t reach an agreement.”

Currently, Martinez remains Aston Villa’s first-choice goalkeeper but is reportedly ready to seek a new challenge. If MU succeeds in this deal, Amorim will gain an experienced and confident last line of defense, a quality missing in the Red Devils’ goalkeeping department this season.

Marcus Rashford: Barcelona wants to buy outright, MU ready to negotiate

Forward Marcus Rashford is gradually regaining form at Barcelona, where he is on loan this season. After scoring 6 goals and delivering several impressive performances, coach Hansi Flick and Barca’s management want to keep him permanently.

According to SPORT, Barcelona is negotiating with MU to lower the purchase fee below 30 million euros or to extend the loan for another season. “Rashford is happy at Barcelona and willing to reduce his salary to stay,” an insider revealed.

The 27-year-old player has stated he does not intend to return to Old Trafford, where he faced many pressures and internal conflicts. Meanwhile, MU is reportedly open to all offers, especially as the club rebuilds under Amorim’s leadership.
