Thiago Alcantara impressed in his second season with La Blaugrana and has managed to gain the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson at the Old Trafford.
While the Spanish national team continue their adventures in Euro 2012, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara is consigned to the comfort of his couch to cheer for his adopted country.
However, the Italian born Spanish international with Brazilian roots has plenty to ponder about as Manchester United look to make a sensation transfer bid.
The English club have failed to land a suitable replacement of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 and were forced to recall the experienced campaigner midway during the campaign. As a result, the English giants are in the market again for a capable central midfielder.
United’s first choice is Tottenham star, Luka Modric, to fill the void left by the ginger bread man as he boasts of English Premier League experience.
Trailing the Croatian star in the Red Devils’ plans is Barcelona’s Thiago Alcantara who has been with the Catalan outfit since the age of 14. La Masia academy graduate got his first chance under Pep Guardiola’s debut season with La Blaugrana first team and
has not looked back since.
Alcantara has managed 65 first team appearances with the first team, hitting the back of the net on 8 occasions and is regarded as a hot prospect for the future.
The recently concluded Spanish top flight football campaign was expected to mark his complete entry into Barcelona’s first team affairs, but his impact was subsided by the Catalan club’s acquisition of Cesc Fabregas.
Despite the stiff competition for first team minutes, Alcantara made 32 starts in all competitions as he profited from regular injuries to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 players knocking on first team doorsteps, the Bari born player can exit the
Camp Nou in favour of pastures new.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson can greatly make the situation to play in favour of Manchester United. The record 19-time English champions have an enticing project on offer as the knighted Scotsman embarks on the overhaul of his squad for the umpteenth time.
It has been reported that a deal can be realized if United can cough up 21 million Euros. With the Spanish starlet providing a more long term gains as compared to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857, finalization of the deal looks probable come the end of August.
