Napoli eye move for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire

Napoli are reportedly monitoring Harry Maguire’s situation at Manchester United as they seek to strengthen their defense.

The Serie A champions, led by Antonio Conte, are targeting Premier League players, with the 31-year-old England international fitting their profile for an experienced center-back, according to The Athletic.

Maguire has had mixed fortunes since joining United in a record £80 million move from Leicester City in 2019.

Despite his struggles for consistency, current United manager Ruben Amorim reportedly values his qualities, which could complicate a potential transfer.

Conte, who recently signed Scott McTominay from United, is reportedly impressed by the impact of Premier League players in Serie A.

Napoli are also said to be considering other options, including Juventus’ Danilo, with a potential swap deal involving Giacomo Raspadori under discussion.

Maguire is also attracting interest from other clubs, including José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

However, Amorim’s willingness to rely on the defender, as demonstrated by his recent full 90-minute appearance in United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City, may influence the player’s decision to stay at Old Trafford.
