In the past one year or so, may be
more than that, Manchester United
have been repeatedly linked with a
move for Argentine forward Enzo
Perez.
Portuguese media, Argentine media
and Spanish media both have time
and again covered United's interest in
the player. Spanish newspapers have
an interest here, because, Perez is
also a reported target of Valencia .
We bring you here some of the recent
stories we covered on Enzo Perez that
will give you an idea how the transfer
saga has shaped up.
November 3: Italian website TMW
claimed Valencia are preparing a
massive €30m bid for the Argentine.
November 7: ESPN claimed
Manchester United had rekindled their
interest in the player and scouts
followed him in action for Benfica
against Monaco and that they were
highly impressed with what they saw.
November 11: Argentine newspaper
Ovacion reported that Manchester
United were preparing a €30m bid for
the Benfica superstar.
November 19: Spanish newspaper
Marca published a story where they
claimed Angel di Maria was making a
strong effort to lure him to Old
Trafford . He had even spoken with him
and said good words about the club.
In a nutshell, what we get is both
Manchester United and Valencia are
vying for his signature. However, it
seems like United have cooled their
interest in him (if there was any
interest at all) recently making way for
Valencia to clinch the deal.
Journalists who have great contacts
within the club, like James Ducker of
The Times or Mark Ogden of The Daily
Telegraph, have hardly mentioned (in
fact didn't mention at all) his name
while speaking of United's potential
targets in coming transfer window or
in summer, which suggest probably he
doesn't feature in Louis van Gaal's
plans.
Perez has a reported release clause
of €30m, but due to a lack of
competition (as it seems), Valencia
are hoping to secure a deal
within €25m.
The Los Che financed by Peter Lim
have the finance in place to secure the
move as early within next week.
Valencia based newspaper claiming
today that a deal has been agreed in
principle and that the Spanish club are
confident of completing the transfer in
the first week of January.
