Napoli Eyeing Manchester United Defender Harry Maguire

Napoli is reportedly monitoring Harry Maguire’s situation at Manchester United, as manager Antonio Conte looks to bolster his squad with Premier League experience. However, the timing may not be ideal for luring the defender away from Old Trafford.

Maguire, who joined Manchester United in 2019 for £80 million, has had a mixed tenure at the club. Despite this, current United manager Ruben Amorim is said to value Maguire’s abilities, which could complicate any potential transfer.

Conte, known for his preference for Premier League players, views the 31-year-old as an attractive option to strengthen Napoli’s defense. The Italian coach’s interest in English top-flight talent has intensified following the successful acquisition of Scott McTominay from Manchester United.

Napoli is in search of an experienced center-back, and Maguire fits the profile they are seeking. However, competition for the England international’s signature may arise, with clubs like José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce and Galatasaray also reportedly showing interest.

Maguire’s recent full 90-minute appearance in Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City suggests that Amorim may be inclined to keep the defender in his plans. This could present a challenge for Napoli in their pursuit of the experienced center-back.

As the transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Napoli can successfully negotiate a deal for Maguire, or if the defender will continue his career at Old Trafford under Amorim’s guidance.
