West Ham have initiated discussions with Manchester United regarding the potential acquisitions of Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay. Initial indications suggest that there is a disparity in valuations for both players. We News has received information that United considers Maguire and McTominay to be exceptional players and integral members of their team.
Although they are not actively seeking offers, it is presumed that United would only entertain a sale if they receive exceptionally high bids. At present, the manager of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, is envisioning both players to play vital roles in the team for the upcoming season.
Maguire, who recently lost the captaincy at Man Utd, is garnering attention from clubs in the Premier League and overseas.
The Hammers are considering the possibility of a loan or permanent agreement for the 30-year-old defender.
However, they acknowledge that wages might pose a potential issue if a deal were to be reached between the clubs.
Ten Hag consistently asserts that the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the player, who remains under contract with the club until the summer of 2025.
West Ham hold 'positive' Ward-Prowse talks
West Ham have also held positive talks with Southampton over the signing of midfielder James Ward-Prowse as they ideally look to replace Declan Rice with two players.
According to We News, an agreement is nearing completion and personal terms are unlikely to pose any issues.
The Hammers' initial offer of £40m for Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher has already been turned down.
The 23-year-old currently has two more years remaining on his contract with Stamford Bridge and reports suggest that Chelsea might consider extending it. However, it would ultimately depend on Gallagher himself if he decides to leave, as West Ham is reportedly deliberating on whether to make a better offer.
The England midfielder is currently on Chelsea's tour of the USA and found the back of the net in the 4-3 victory against Brighton on Sunday. At present, manager Mauricio Pochettino is expecting him to remain a part of the squad for the upcoming season. It is believed that Chelsea highly rates him, valuing him at over £40m.
