Will Harry Maguire and Eric Dier, who showed unstable defense in their team, play together for Juventus.
“In England, center backs Maguire and Dyer, who are out of sight in England, are being mentioned as Juventus’ January transfer targets,” sports media “Goldcom” reported on the 16th (Korea Standard Time).
Maguire is the highest paid defender in the world. He wore the Manchester United jersey for £80 million (W140.7 billion) in August 2019. In the early days of the transfer, he became a key defender for Manchester United, but his skills have deteriorated due to a series of mistakes starting in the 2021/22 season. He also suffered the humiliation of surrendering his captaincy to Bruno Fernandes.
In the last 비아마켓 season, center backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane showed good performance due to injuries sustained in the lineup. He showed signs of rebound, but has been relegated to the bench this season. Maguire has only one goal in nine matches in the 2024/25 season. He only plays for 492 minutes.
Dyer’s situation is similar to Maguire’s. He was once a key resource for Tottenham Hotspur, but his rise declined after undergoing appendectomy in the 2018/19 season. Dyer has since been reduced to the main culprit of Tottenham’s defensive instability. In the 2022/3 season, when Dyer was the leader of the defense, Tottenham collapsed at the back, dedicating 63 runs to the league.
Dier moved to Bayern Munich on loan in January after falling behind in the main competition under Enze Postecoglou. Last season, he overtook Kim Min-jae to become the main player under Thomas Tuchel, but fell this season. Dier has played only six games in the 2024/25 season.
Juventus is aiming to recruit Maguire and Dyer at the same time. Juventus lost Gleisson Bremer and Juan Cabal to a cruciate ligament rupture. Juventus, which has created a gap in the defense, is trying to fill the vacancy through Maguire and Dyer. Attention is focusing on whether Maguire and Dyer will play together for Juventus.
