The brutal investment for the Leicester City defender could have been much more tempered in the face of Old Trafford's leadership investments last summer. But this is another story.
It just so happens that, before Maguire's name came up, Demiral was the one the Reds were interested in. The Turkish media 'Spor X' recently published that the 'Red Devils' had planned to sign the 21-year-old, although this never actually happened.
The figures did not appear, although they although they must have been lower than the one Juventus presented for the Turkish defender, who ended up opting for the Italian club.
The story was very different, although Manchester United, in their quest for new reinforcements in winter, do not lose sight of the option of taking Demiral, even if it is as initially as a loan.
