The veteran Manchester United defender is out of contract at the end of the season and has become a target for mega-money Saudi Arabia sides, who could offer him deals worth around £500k-a-week
Harry Maguire is ready to snub huge contract offers from Saudi Arabia if Manchester United offer him a new deal.
England international Maguire is out of contract in June at Old Trafford and has become a target of Saudi outfits Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq. A move to the former would see him link up with ex-United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Maguire, 33 in March, is free to open talks with potential new clubs in January. And a move to Saudi could see him land a deal worth around £500k-a-week. Given it is likely to be the final lucrative move of his career, such an offer isn’t without its temptations.
But United are considering handing the defender a contract extension. Talks will take place in the coming weeks.
However, Maguire – who was ruthlessly dumped and stripped of the United captaincy by former boss Erik ten Hag – will want assurances the deal is right for him.

Maguire has 68 England caps to his name and is hoping to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the next World Cup – although he is facing an uphill battle after being left out of the current squad.
He knows that joining the Saudi Pro-League would damage his chances of extending his England career, whether Tuchel is in charge or not.
But if he pledges his future to United, he wants to know he will remain an integral part of the club’s plans, whoever is the manager.
In an ideal world, Maguire would be willing to see out the rest of his career at Old Trafford. But with it being the last major decision of his career, the terms must be right.
