Refuse the temptation of 500,000 weekly salary! It is revealed that Maguire is waiting for Manchester United to renew his contract and wants to retire with the Red Devils

Former Manchester United captain Maguire still holds the record for the most expensive defender transfer in world football (80 million pounds). His contract at Old Trafford will expire next summer. According to the "Mirror", Maguire is prepared to reject the astronomical £500,000-per-week contract offered by Saudi Arabia and choose to stay at Manchester United - provided that the club is willing to renew his contract. Maguire's contract with Manchester United will expire in June next year. It was reported last week that Saudi teams Riyadh Victory and Dammam Cooperation have listed him as a signing target.

According to the rules, the 32-year-old English veteran will be free to negotiate transfers with overseas clubs starting from January next year. Playing in the Middle East can bring him a huge contract at the end of his career. Maguire will turn 33 next March. For the player himself, accepting this last big contract in his career is indeed attractive. Especially if United stick to their decision to "look to the future" and not renew his contract. Last summer, Manchester United activated the extension clause in Maguire's contract, but he had no option at the time.

However, the latest signs indicate that Manchester United is indeed considering offering the defender a new contract extension. Negotiations will begin in the coming weeks but Maguire wants to ensure the terms of a new deal are right for him. Maguire knows that joining the Saudi Professional League will seriously affect his chances of continuing to play for the England national team, regardless of whether Thomas Tuchel continues to coach after next summer, or whether there is a change of coach.

If he decides to continue playing for Manchester United, he wants to ensure that he remains a central part of the club's plans no matter who the manager is. In an ideal world, Maguire would like to end his career at Manchester United. But he also knows that the contract he is about to sign will be the last important contract of his career, so the terms must be appropriate. Manchester United's attitude is also relatively clear. Maguire must accept a salary cut if he renews his contract. This season, as Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League, Maguire's weekly salary was reduced by 25%, but it is still 140,000 pounds.
