Maguire has been in demand since his key role in England’s successful World Cup campaign after 28 years in Russia.
The boss, in an interview admitted that he wants Maguire to stay at Leicester City. He said, “It is important for Maguire to continue for Leicester. It is a good feeling. If our players are interesting a lot of clubs it is because we are recruiting well and doing good work. It is important we continue this”
“When we welcome players back from the World Cup, I hope we can give them the opportunity to continue advancing their ambitions and perform in the Premier League.”
Demarai Gray, Maguire’s teammate from Leicester City has admitted that the defender will play alongside him when they take on Manchester United on August 10 to kickoff their Premier League season.
He said, “I think Harry’s happy here. He’s had a good World Cup. He won’t think about things too much. I think he’ll come back and continue”
“You can tell by the way he plays he is a relaxed player who gets his head down and gets the work done. He performs on the pitch and is a great player to have in the changing room. Everyone saw what he is capable of in Russia. He has done himself proud.”
