Manchester United are involved in negotiations with defender Harry Maguire over new terms, reliable Fabrizio Romano has confirmed.
Maguire is now in the final eight months of his contract with Manchester United after the club activated a one-year extension clause earlier this year.
The England international will be free to talk to other teams from January 1 and there appears to be no shortage of interest in him.
United are believed to have rebuffed moves for Maguire over the summer. A host of clubs, both in England and abroad, made overtures to the player, but United made it clear they were not interested in offloading him.
Maguire ultimately stayed out of the window’s closing.
More recently it emerged that Maguire has admirers from the Saudi Pro League, including the likes of Al-Ettifaq and Al-Nassr who are keeping a close eye on his situation.
On Wednesday, The Sun’s Samuel Luckhurst revealed that United’s director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves has held initial talks with Maguire’s representatives.
It is understood Maguire is hopeful of putting pen to paper on a new contract to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
Now Romano has confirmed the news, adding that United have been impressed by Maguire’s contributions to the team and his leadership.
Romano wrote about
“Personal meetings have taken place with his camp in recent days and more will follow to discuss the circumstances.”
“Man United pleased with Maguire’s contribution and leadership.”
