England footballer Harry Maguire has refused to pay a 50,000 pound "bribe" to settle the case regarding his holiday brawl alongside his sister Daisy on the Greek island of Mykonos in 2020. The Man United defender, 33, lost the six-year-old case, where he was involved in a bust-up with police while allegedly protecting Daisy.

Maguire claimed that two men drugged Daisy, who began losing consciousness, and while he tried to take her to a hospital, he was taken to a police station instead, and was beaten by cops. Fearing a kidnapping, Maguire said he tried to flee, but was apprehended.

On Wednesday, Maguire received a 15-month suspension, which he has refuted, claiming he will take the case to the Supreme Court. "They offered to make it disappear if Harry paid 50,000 pounds. He would rather be found guilty than pay a bribe," a source close to the player told British tabloid The Sun.
