Man United Open Talks Over Reduced-Term Extension for Harry Maguire as Saudi Interest Circles

Early discussions reflect INEOS’s drive to move veteran contracts onto lower, incentive‑based wages.

Overview

  • United’s director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves has held initial talks with Maguire’s representatives about a new deal.
  • Club stance reported across outlets indicates any renewal would require a significant pay cut or a shorter, performance‑linked contract.
  • Saudi Pro League sides Al‑Nassr and Al‑Ettifaq are monitoring the 32‑year‑old, with reports suggesting a January approach or a summer move is possible.
  • Maguire is in the final months of his contract, has lost his guaranteed starting spot under Rúben Amorim, yet remains part of the manager’s leadership group.
  • There is conflicting reporting on his current wage, with multiple outlets citing roughly £190,000 per week and others claiming a post‑Champions League reduction to about £140,000.
