Chelsea trying to sign Harry Maguire from Manchester United

Chelsea are trying to sign Harry Maguire from Premier League rivals Manchester United in the summer transfer window, according to 90min. The report has claimed that Chelsea are looking for a new centre-back due to the injury suffered by Wesley Fofana and have made enquiries about a potential deal for Maguire.

Fofana has suffered a cruciate ligament injury and has undergone ‘reconstructive surgery’ on his ACL. According to 90min, the defender is likely to miss the majority of the 2023-24 season. Chelsea have a new manager in charge now, Mauricio Pochettino, and will be determined to finish in the top four of the Premier League table next campaign.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sell Maguire in the summer transfer window. United manager Erik ten Hag has personally told the England international central defender that he is free to leave and is not going to play a big role in the first team next season if he stays.
