West Ham are reportedly planning a new bid for Manchester United centre-half Harry Maguire in the summer.

West Ham manager David Moyes, looking to bolster his defensive lineup with aerial prowess, sees the English centre-half as the perfect fit to address the squad’s current shortcomings.

After an initial approach fell through due to valuation disagreements and Maguire’s wage expectations, the Hammers are poised for a renewed attempt, according to The Sun.

With Maguire’s contract winding down, West Ham hopes for a reduced price and the player’s openness to a Premier League continuation in London.

The club is reportedly considering a bid in the region of £15-£20 million and may entice Maguire with a two or three-year contract proposal.

Maguire’s potential availability aligns with United’s strategy to refresh the squad, making this summer’s transfer window crucial for both parties.
