Manchester United Flop Heavily Linked With Summer Transfer Move to Spanish Club Barcelona

• Harry Maguire could be heading to Barcelona as reports say the Spanish club are interested in the Manchester United captain
• Despite a miserable season for the Red Devils, reports say the 29-year-old is attracting interest from the Catalan giants
• Maguire who joined the Red Devils from Leicester City for £80 million in 2019 has been criticised following a bad season for United

England international Harry Maguire could be leaving Manchester United to join Spanish club Barcelona during the summer transfer window.

A stunning transfer rumour emerged from football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano who claims Barcelona are interested in the Manchester United defender.

Although it remains unsure if Maguire will leave the Old Trafford club at the end of the season, the player who had an unimpressive season with the Red Devils will interest the La Liga giants, SPORTbible reports.

Recall that Maguire was purchased from Leicester City for a record fee of £80 million in 2019 and began his reign at the club on an impressive note.

He earned the club’s captaincy but his form dropped notably and many believe the 29-year-old could be bidding goodbye to the Theatre of Dreams during the summer transfer window.

A move to Spain will see him take a massive wage cut, no doubt, as huge reports say United could be open to selling their captain.

However, United would likely have to take a major hit on the large sum they paid for his services 3 years ago.

It was further gathered that interest in Maguire from Barcelona is tentative, and a deal is unlikely to occur this window.

Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Jurrien Timber are among defenders linked with a move to the Premier League outfit during the summer transfer window.
