English Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly monitoring the progress of French defender Mathieu Debuchy, who is also rumoured to be on the radar of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 and Newcastle United.
Whenever one talks about Ligue 1 side Lille, images of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682.
A versatile player, capable of plying his trade as a right-back or even as a deep lying playmaker in the centre of the park, the French International looks certain to add to his three caps for Les Bleus, while the rest of the Europe looks on.
The Stade Lille-Metropole is facing a mass exodus of prime talent this summer and according to reports, Debuchy maybe one of those departing, with Valencia of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and Newcastle United interested in his services.
However both the sides now face competition from Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s Manchester United, who can easily pip them in any transfer deal.
The Red Devils’ have a number of defenders trying out for the right-back slot, but no one has been able to claim it for themselves as of yet. Rafael Da Silva, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling have tried their best to make the spot their own, but in Ferguson’s
mind none of them fits the bill.
For the same reason, the Scot is allegedly scouring the transfer market and now has his sights set on Debuchy, with a view to land his signature in the summer.
Lille have placed a £9 million price-tag on the former Fretin man’s services and will be ready to negotiate with potential suitors, given that the player’s talents are worthy of better surroundings than the French League.
His rapid ascendancy as one of the continent’s premier right-backs, make him a target worth going after and given that he is likely to feature for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in European Championships, his price-tag could soar after the tournament depending on his performances.
United will be eager to confirm his arrival at Old Trafford before then, just like they did with Javier Hernandez in 2010, after which the striker showcased his predatory skills on the global stage at the World Cup.
