Manchester United open to selling Maguire to increase budgetFulham demanding £80m for Portugal midfielder Palhinha
West Ham have had a loan offer for Harry Maguire dismissed by Manchester United and a £45m bid for João Palhinha turned away by Fulham.
The club are looking to spend after selling Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105m and are stepping up their interest in two of their key targets. West Ham want to replace Rice with two midfielders – along with targeting Palhinha, they have held talks over a move for Ajax’s Edson Álvarez – and David Moyes’s desire to bring in a central defender led him to set his sights on Maguire.
