After returning from the FIFA Confederations Cup with the Golden
Boot and the Silver Ball, Sevilla striker
Luis Fabiano
has become hot property in the transfer market.
AC Milan have
long expressed their admiration for the 28-year-old and they have
recently been linked with another approach for the marksman. But
they could face stiff competition after AS reported that
Manchester
United have entered the race to sign him.
The Red Devils are desperate to acquire a world class forward
following the departure of Carlos Tevez and the failed attempt to
sign Karim Benzema. And with players like David Villa ruling out a
move to England and Sergio Aguero priced out of their range, Luis
Fabiano may be the best option for Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Brazilian currently has two years left in his contract with
Sevilla and his €30 million buy-out clause appears to have put off
Milan, who are unwilling to offer any more than €20m. But the
figure should be no obstacle for United, who have recently received
the full €94m from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
As for Sevilla, who have identified midfield reinforcements as
their main priority, the
money could come in handy as they are struggling
to off-load a handful of fringe players to free up funds to
complete the singing of Didier Zokora from Tottenham Hotspur.
United and Milan, meanwhile, are also reportedly tracking
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
