Aberdeen FC manager, Craig Brown, has today slapped down speculation that he has given up on the task of keeping Chris Maguire at Pittodrie.
Brown has dismissed a claim from Maguire’s agent – Willie McKay – that the young striker has rejected a new contract offer from the club and plans to move on in the summer.
Maguire’s future at Aberdeen has been subject to much speculation for the past few months, as he has struck a rich vein of form in the final few months of his current contract.
While his agent claims he has decided to move on, the player hasn’t ruled out staying at the club. He said: “We are still speaking.”
Craig Brown is refusing to concede defeat and still hopes he can prolong the player’s stay at Pittodrie.
He said: “We are determined to keep Chris Maguire. It is very difficult to compete with some of the finances spoken about but we have made him a very competitive offer. There is also the issue of compensation which will have to be addressed if he does decide to go.”
Maguire is currently with the Scotland squad, preparing for Sunday's international with Brazil.
