West Ham have finally started working on the transfer market this summer, after agreeing a £35m deal for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez, who is expected to undergo a medical in London in next 24 hours.
And the Hammer is also waiting for a response from Man United on an offer to buy defender Maguire and midfielder McTominay for around £ 30 million each.
Coach David Moyes is very interested in signing two Manchester United players. After an initial offer of £20m per person was rejected, West Ham immediately raised the price by £10m but was immediately rejected
In addition to selling Maguire and McTominay this week, Man United is also eager to raise money by selling Fred and Donny van de Beek in order to recruit Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina. Sociedad is contacting Van de Beek, and Fulham and Galatasaray are after Fred.
In the summer 2023 transfer window, the Red Devils spent $164 million to sign three new players, including Rasmus Hojlund ($64 million from Atalanta), goalkeeper Andre Onana ($45 million from Inter Milan), and midfielder Mason Mount ($55 million from Chelsea).
MU’s transfer budget is almost exhausted and to bring in more rookies, they are forced to sell less players. Maguire, McTominay, Fred and Van de Beek are among the top winners.
