According to sources, Manchester United are reportedly willing to offer £30 million for Atletico Madrid’s Spanish sensation Koke as soon as the transfer window opens next week. Koke has hit the headlines with some audacious performances for the Madrid side this season. He was one of the main stars in the European U-21 Championships winning side last summer, and he has been elevated to the senior squad, taking part in the World Cup qualifying campaign.

Here are three reasons why United should break the bank to bring Koke to Old Trafford.

1.     Quality in Central Midfield

With Marouane Fellaini out for two months, David Moyes is desperate to get a box to box midfielder, and finally replace Paul Scholes, whose vision is still firmly missed at Old Trafford. Fellaini has struggled to find his feet, and following summer pursuits of Athletic Bilbao’s Ander Herrera and Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas, it is clear that the Scot is looking for a cultured attacking midfielder to complement the burly Fellaini and neat-and-tidy Michael Carrick.

Koke is certainly a player who fits the bill in that respect. Despite the heroics of Atletico this season, the bright lights and extraordinary pay packets of the Premier League might be difficult to turn down for the young Spaniard.
