The Premier League champions are reportedly closing in on the Argentine midfielder with a £20 million offer, the services of Federico Macheda on a permanent basis and Fabio on loan.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man was one of the world’s best playmakers, replacing him at Old Trafford has become an increasingly frustrating battle.
A host of top European players have been mooted as potential transfer targets and out of those only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 really had a chance of arriving in Manchester. But talks with the Dutch star broke down last summer over his wage demands, which were exorbitant
to say the least.
Other than the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 and Germany’s
Mario Gotze, but out of the all the names Nicolas Gaitan of Benfica stands out.
The Sky Blue International has been on the end of several choice words from Sir Alex and the Scot has personally witnessed his abilities, when the attacker dismantled United in the UEFA Champions League.
Blessed with an inert ability on the ball and the talent to produce something out of nothing, the 24-year-old has been in high demand this season.
Several sides including Manchester City have been linked with a swoop for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 man, but it seems that the Red Devils have beaten the rest of the continent to his signature.
According to the latest reports, the reigning champions are ready to fork out £20 million plus the services of unwanted striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Macheda-c13475 in order to tempt his employers, Benfica.
Furthermore, Fergie will sweeten the deal by offering http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 on a season-long loan, so that the youngster can also get some regular game time under his belt.
It was though that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’ side wouldn’t let their prized asset leave Estadio da Luz unless their evaluation was met, but considering the player’s recent drop in form, they have allegedly agreed to settle for less.
However the move will only be completed in the summer when the transfer window re-opens.
