Seria A giants eyeing up move for Manchester United outcast in the January transfer window: Reports

Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly looking to sign Manchester United defender Harry Maguire in the January transfer window, as per Corriere Sport Dello (via Goal). Due to the injuries of Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, Juventus are keen on recruiting new central defenders this winter.

Despite the injury crisis, the Seria A giants are not ready to spend a huge sum of money on a new defender. As a result, they have shortlisted Manchester United's Harry Maguire and Bayern Munich's Eric Dier. Maguire's future at Old Trafford is uncertain as new boss Ruben Amorim is yet to access the squad.

His current contract with the Red Devils will expire in the summer of 2025, but it includes an option for a one-year extension. United have come close to selling the English defender in the recent transfer windows. Earlier this summer, West Ham United were interested in signing Maguire, but the deal eventually failed.

Since joining Manchester United from Leicester City in August 2019, Maguire has made 215 appearances, bagging 12 goals and eight assists. He also served as United's captain before his armband was stripped in July 2023 under Erik ten Hag.

Apart from Maguire, former Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier is also on Juventus' transfer radar. Dier joined Bayern from Tottenham on a free transfer, and his current contract will expire next summer.

Manchester United interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder next summer: Reports

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka in the next summer transfer window, as per the FC Bayern Football Podcast via TBR Football. The Red Devils are looking forward to bolstering their squad, and Leon Goretzka is one of their top transfer targets.

The 29-year-old joined Bayern from Schalke in July 2018 and signed his last contract extension with the side in 2021. His ongoing deal with Bayern will expire in the summer of 2024. However, Goretzka has made only nine appearances across competitions, totaling 216 minutes, under Vincent Kompany this season.

According to the aforementioned report, the Red Devils would aim to sign the German midfielder in the summer transfer window. United have already signed Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich this year.
