Manchester United could buy
back Giuseppe Rossi from Villarreal.
The Daily Star Sunday says United sold Rossi to the
Spanish club for £6.7m three years ago – but manager
Sir Alex Ferguson insisted on a
clause being inserted in the deal which gave him first option on
buying back the American-born Italy international.
And a number of clubs are now eyeing Rossi, 23, with German club
Hoffenheim leading the chase.
There is also expected to be interest in Turkey and from the
Premier League and, if
Villarreal receive an acceptable offer, they would then have to
offer him back to United.
