England centre-back Harry Maguire has offers on the table that satisfy his appetite for money and he could still leave Old Trafford.
Harry Maguire is back in the spotlight of the transfer market. The England defender, who is currently at Manchester United, is going through a turning point in his career, and the interest from Saudi Arabia could mean a before and after in his near future.

The Saudi Arabian league is constantly reinforcing itself with well-known European names, and according to Sky Sports, big clubs in the country have already made offers to secure the centre-back. These offers involve sums that far exceed what he could have earned in Europe, making the operation a real financially attractive opportunity.
Manchester United will be willing to let Harry Maguire go.
Maguire’s closest circle does not deny that discussions are taking place, although the player has doubts about when is the right time to leave Old Trafford. The defender believes he can still serve a more prominent role under Ruben Amorim’s leadership, and he also dreams of being in top form for the upcoming World Cup with the England national team. That is the main reason why he is considering waiting until next summer before making a final decision.
Still, the temptation is strong. In Saudi Arabia, Maguire would not only become one of the defensive leaders in the league, but he would also secure a historically large contract. The opportunity to become a reference in a league that is increasingly attracting more stars is an opportunity that is hard to refuse.
The transfer window in Saudi Arabia remains open until September 23, which maintains the uncertainty until the last minute. Manchester United have already turned down offers from Serie A and the Premier League for their captain, but the pressure from Saudi Arabia is different: we are talking about an economic capacity that has practically no counterparts in today’s football.
Maguire’s dilemma is clear: continue to fight for playing time at Old Trafford to secure his place in the England national team, or take a radical turn in his career and embrace an exotic but lucrative destination. The decision will shape the direction of his career in the coming years.
Harry Maguire is seriously considering ending his time at Manchester United and embarking on an adventure in the Saudi Arabian league, where the financial offers are far too tempting to ignore. The English centre-back is divided between competitive stability and financial leap. Everything indicates that the next few days are crucial to find out if he is actually going to be one of the big sensations in the Arab market.
