"Despite reported offers from Saudi Arabia worth up to 500,000 per week, the Manchester United centre-back is reportedly prepared to turn them down if it means staying loyal to Old Trafford. Talks are said to be ongoing over a new contract, and Maguire's stance suggests that loyalty and his future in England might outweigh instant financial gain. It's no secret that the Saudi Pro League has thrown astronomical wage offers at established European stars in recent seasons."
"Yet, despite the lure of massive paydays, Maguire appears to be weighing more than just financial incentives. The centre-back is also concerned about his future with the England national team and he believes that moving to the Saudi Pro League would hurt his chances of representing his country and that is why he wants to continue playing football at the top level in order to give himself the best opportunity to represent his country."
Harry Maguire may reject lucrative Saudi Pro League offers worth up to 500,000 per week to remain at Manchester United and protect his England prospects. Talks over a contract extension are ongoing as his current deal approaches its final months. Maguire appears to weigh loyalty and international ambitions more highly than immediate financial gain. The Saudi offers would exceed typical defender wages in top European leagues and specifically target established players in their early 30s. Maguire has been inducted into Manchester United's leadership group and is valued for his experience and ability to marshal the back line.
