On Thursday, it was confirmed that Casemiro will be called out as a Man Utd player in the summer at the end of his contract. There is much to suggest that Harry Maguire will do the same, to a new life as a free agent after some turbulent but also rewarding seasons at Old Trafford. So what happens to the English centre-back rock? The 32-year-old seems far away from thinking about retiring to some lucrative deal outside the UEFA region. Now it is reported that one of Manchester United’s biggest rivals has realized they are missing a player type like Maguire.
It is expected that Maguire will receive offers from clubs such as West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth, possibly also from Napoli and Roma if he decides to move abroad. There could also be a big surprise in the Premier League. Chelsea are reported to be on the trail of a Maguire signing.

According to Caughtoffside’s sources , Chelsea see Maguire as a candidate to bring solid experience into the young squad, a Thiago Silva character in the Blues‘ defence.
The Chelsea management is fully focused on bringing in young talents, but there is a lack of a rock and veteran in the squad.
“Chelsea are surprisingly open to this deal – they know they are missing an experienced Thiago Silva-like figure at the back. It is not necessarily the most likely outcome, but do not rule it out,” the source reports to the English media.
