Manchester United target Porto star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Porto’s Radamel Falcao is rumoured to be on the radar of English Premier League champions, Manchester United.
The Red Devils conquered England’s highest division for a record 19th time last season and reached the final of the UEFA Champions League, though, they were outclassed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the Wembley finale.
Their manager, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463, proving the club’s willingness to dip in
the transfer market when required.
The Manchester outfit are keen to revamp their squad, particularly the attacking third and the midfield. With their top goalscorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254, reportedly not being offered a new contract due to inconsistent performances, the Old Trafford hierarchy
have identified a new attacker in Falcao to grace the Red jersey next season.
One of the most prolific forwards in Europe, Falcao’s addition would be a killer blow to the title aspirations of United’s rivals, and could potentially be the piece in the jigsaw puzzle that dethrones Barcelona’s supremacy on the continent.
However, a major hurdle facing the transfer is the fact that United already have three World-class strikers at their disposal, namely http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, Javier Hernandez and Berbatov, not to mention the versatile Ashley Young, who can easily be drafted in to
the hole behind the main target man.
Following the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 from their respective loan spells, game time will become a much sought after commodity at the club.
Another possible stumbling block includes Chelsea’s interest in the Columbian International. Touted as an ideal strike partner for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, the Blues have stepped up their chase for the coveted goal poacher since the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas
as their manager. The Stamford Bridge officials are eager to reunite the two and will exploit Falcao’s relationship with his former manager to lure him to London.
But perhaps the biggest obstacle in this transfer saga is that the Coffee Growers International just put pen to paper on a deal at Estadio do Dragao and has reiterated his desire to stay with the Portistas.
However his contract has a buy-clause of €45 million and Manchester United are known to be notorious spenders in the summer transfer window when required.
