I thought you didn't want him?finally!!
not that he is THE signing of the season or something but atleast now United have begun a signing and now hope that SAF gets Benzema or Kun as well![]()
Miralem Pjanic claims Lyon team-mate Karim Benzema is close to completing a £38million move to Manchester United.
Benzema has been a long-term target for United, with Lyon prepared to listen to offers if the France international expresses a wish to move.
Reports had previously claimed that Benzema was willing to spend one more season with Lyon in order to maximise his prospects of playing at the 2010 World Cup.
However, he could now be on his way to Old Trafford after Pjanic revealed the 21-year-old is ready to link up with the Premier League champions.
yea, thats good....because now Wenger will be thinking to get Lorik Cana who I feel is a better Defensive midfielder.Melo has signed a new contract with his club..so he is not gonna be a gooner any time soon.
Marca believe that Real Madrid are in fact closer to concluding a deal for the young French striker than their fierce English counterparts and they are confident that it could only be a matter of hours before an agreement is announced.
The paper has reported that their source within the club has revealed that Los Blancos are willing to up an initial bid of €32 million to €35 million for the 21-year-old, just €5m shy of Lyon’s asking price. It would still, however, be some way off what the Red Devils are allegedly prepared to offer.
^ I still think he is over priced. 16-17m...hmm not what I'd want. Probably hes worth 10-12m but I don't think anyone is available for that amount {apart from owen i guess}
so yeah...i'm kinda fine with it.
But whats more important is that Wigan didn't loot Utd and sell him for 25m that would've hurt
btw
