Harry Maguire has been tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer and new Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is interested in signing him.
WHAT HAPPENED? Newly-appointed Spurs manager Postecoglou, who was previously in charge of Celtic, is interested in signing out-of-favour United centre-back Maguire this summer, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Maguire has been a peripheral figure at Old Trafford for some time, and although he is keen to remain at the club, head coach Erik ten Hag doesn’t consider him to be a part of his plans and is willing to sell the England international.
AND WHAT’S MORE: Postecoglou, who has penned a four-year deal with Spurs, will be involved in the decision making when it comes to transfers. With the defence an area that Tottenham need to bolster, the Australian has set his sights on Maguire.
Moreover, the centre-back shares a close relationship with Kane. Given that Spurs’ talisman has just one year left on his contract and is heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid or United, Maguire’s arrival may help Spurs retain their talisman.
WHAT NEXT FOR HARRY MAGUIRE? The 30-year-old will be in action for England this summer, who are taking on Malta and North Macedonia in Group C of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Tottenham beats Real Madrid and Arsenal in race for coveted Spanish player
According to reports from Spain, Spurs have taken the lead over Real Madrid in the pursuit of a talented 23-year-old footballer
As the summer progresses, transfer window rumors are multiplying, and Tottenham continues to be a central figure in many of them. Now, according to reports from Spain, Spurs have outpaced Real Madrid in the race for a talented 23-year-old footballer.
According to El Desmarque, Tottenham is now in ‘pole position’ to secure the services of Joan García, a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for LaLiga side RCD Espanyol.
García has already been linked to other major Premier League clubs, including Spurs’ London rivals, Arsenal. This was reported by AS, which also connected him to the record UEFA Champions League winners.
El Desmarque now confirms Madrid’s interest but also highlights Tottenham’s, asserting that the Merengues face stiff competition from London, positioning Spurs as the leaders in the race for the young and sought-after goalkeeper.

Joan García has a release clause of 25 million euros, which the outlet describes as a very accessible fee for Premier League clubs. The same source indicates that Ange Postecoglou’s team considers the Spanish goalkeeper ideal for providing competition to Guglielmo Vicario during the 2024-2025 season.
It makes sense for Spurs to seek a goalkeeper, given that Fraser Forster is very likely to leave at the end of the next campaign. However, the price is considerably high for a backup. The usual recommendation in transfer rumors remains the same: patience and caution.
