A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024 in talks with Manchester United, confirms the agent: Serie A news
The agent of A.S Roma striker, Mirko Vucinic, has revealed that he met the representatives of English Champions, Manchester United, to discuss a deal for the Montenegrin striker.
Vucinic has expressed his desire of leaving the Italian outfit this summer despite their reluctance to sell him. The 27-year-old has only one year left on his current contract with the Giallorossi and they will be forced to sell
him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.
Several clubs are interested in signing the former Lecce star and Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus were believed to be in pole position for his signature. However, the agent confirmed that he met with Red Devils officials recently
but a deal is far from being completed.
Talking to the reporters the agent said, "I met Manchester United yesterday. We spoke about Vucinic, but we didn't reach an agreement. United like Vucinic but there's still a lot of work to do to see Mirko at Old Trafford."
New Roma manager, Luis Enrique and Sporting Director, Walter Sabatini, have offered the striker a lucrative new deal but the striker has made up his mind of leaving the Stadio Olimpico Rome. Vucinic is unhappy with life in Rome
and the attitude of the fans towards him. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959 international had a very unsettling 2010/11 campaign and was a recipient of constant boos from the home fans.
It is believed that Manchester United are willing to offer one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Macheda-c13475 in a part exchange deal but Roma are willing to accept only cash offers. United will have to offload one or two of their strikers
to make room for Vucinic, as they have six or seven forwards in their line-up.
However, Enrique might be pushed to include Premier League’s golden boot winner, Berbatov, in an exchange deal. The Bulgarian would be a good addition to the squad, as he would add experience and flair to a youthful team.
Vucinic has invited interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 enquired about the striker last year but Roma declined their interest.
