Manchester United set to offer 30 million euros for Nico Gaitan of Benfica.

 

The Independent -

 

 

Meanwhile, United's deal for Gaitan will see the Argentinian midfielder move to Old Trafford next summer. The Independent on Sunday understands that while no firm contractual agreement has been reached between the two clubs, an arrangement is in place to bring Gaitan to Old Trafford in June.

 

United have categorically refused to meet the €45m (£37.7m) release clause figure written into the 23-year-old's new Benfica contract in October, but the sum the Premier League champions pay could rise to €40m (£33.5m) if the 23-year-old has a particularly prolific second half to the season. The final transfer fee will be contingent on the player's appearances and performances, with Benfica's requirement to pay Boca Juniors 20 per cent of the final fee – probably £7m – under the terms of the deal by which they signed him in May 2010 contributing to their high demands.

 

Sources in Portugal suggested last night that United's own performances in domestic and European competition may also affect the final price they pay for a player who has netted only once this season and scored seven times in the last campaign.

Too much IMO, especially given that he is neither a full-on wide man in the Fergie mould, a central player or a 10. Good player like, I've even seen him score  :thup: Boca will be rubbing their hands, they could do with one or two more players for the Libertadores next season.

would he play centrally for Man Utd? They wanted Nasri and Sneijder in the summer, presumably to play behind the striker, wonder if this is their next target. Suppose not having one defined position he could be the next Silva/Mata and drift about.

Quite possibly. Would certainly given them a different dimension as aside from Rooney dropping deep (and he's not comparable) they don't have that creative force from deep like City and Chelsea and to a lesser extent Arsenal have.
