HARRY MAGUIRE’S transfer to West Ham is OFF due to the defender’s £15million demands.
The Hammers were keen to bring in the former Manchester United captain.
Harry Maguire’s transfer to West Ham collapsed with the Hammers walking awaySportsfile
They had a £30million bid accepted by the Red Devils and the transfer was all agreed.
But The Guardian report the London Stadium outfit grew so frustrated with waiting for Maguire to secure a pay-out from United that they have now walked away from negotiations.
Maguire was set to take a huge salary cut to move away from Old Trafford and a settlement offer has been in the works to compensate the England defender.
As revealed by SunSport, he told United he wanted £15m as he surrenders his £189,000-a-week contract for reduced £120,000 weekly wages in East London.
The Red Devils had already offered Maguire a £6m sum to leave.
But the ex-skipper – who was stripped of the armband and replaced by Bruno Fernandes this summer – wants more than double that amount.
There are still two years left on his Manchester United contract worth £19.7m.
The report does state, though, a deal could still be revived – but in the meantime West Ham are looking at alternative centre-back options for David Moyes.
