Barcelona To Pay €22m To Manchester United For Nemanja
Vidic – Report
The European Champions are said to be interested in bringing the
Serbian international to La Liga and have made a substantial
bid…
Speculation from the English tabloids suggests that Barcelona
have tabled a €22m bid for defender Nemanja Vidic and are stepping
up their attempts to bring the Manchester United defender to the
Camp Nou.
The Daily Star have reported that Vidic’s wife is unhappy in
Manchester and would be interested in a move to a warmer climate,
alerting the new champions of Europe to the Serbian’s possible
availability.
Sir Alex Ferguson swooped for the 27-year old in the summer of
2006, clinching his signature from Spartak Moscow for a fee of £7m,
and under the Scotsman Vidic has matured into one of the most
uncompromising opponents in the English Premier League.
Now it appears that Pep Guardiola wants to add Vidic to his
squad as he bids to build on his incredible treble of Spanish
Primera Division, Copa del Rey and Champions League triumphs.
Vidic joins Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the
Bluagrana’s radar as they look to stay one step ahead of Florentino
Perez’s Real Madrid, who are certain to spend big to improve their
La Liga challenge next season.
Italian side AC Milan are also thought to have expressed an
interest in the Red Devils stopper, who has made over 100
appearances for the English Champions in three successful
seasons.
