Suspense as Chelsea are linked with shocking move for Maguire

A report via the Daily Mail has linked Chelsea with moves for Man Utd defender and captain Harry Maguire this summer.

The report claimed the Blues are making an enquiry for the defender amid growing doubt over his future at Old Trafford.

The England international is struggling with his place in Erik ten Hag’s starting XI for Monday’s crunch clash against Liverpool.

However, he has emerged as a target for Chelsea, who have been unable to complete a deal for Leicester’s Wesley Fofana and want to sign a new defender before the transfer window closes.

The west London side have raised the possibility of taking Maguire as part of Man United’s attempts to sign Christian Pulisic.

The reports revealed that a move for Fofana remains Chelsea’s priority, and as of Friday there was growing optimism that a deal for the French defender could happen next week after the centre-half requested to be left out of Leicester’s game against Southampton Saturday.

However, if fails Chelsea may turn to Maguire, a move many of the clubs’ fans are finding hard to believe.
