West Ham United’s plans to secure a solid defensive addition have hit a snag, with negotiations for a £30 million transfer deal with Manchester United facing delays.
While personal terms have been settled with the targeted center-back, Maguire, the 30-year-old player is still in the midst of discussions for a pay-off from his current club before departing from Old Trafford.
Sources suggest that Maguire is seeking a £7 million settlement from Manchester United, even after agreeing to a reduced salary to facilitate his move to London. These prolonged negotiations have led to growing frustration within West Ham, prompting the club to explore alternative options in the remaining two weeks of the summer transfer window.
