Tuesday Transfer Talk

 

Lucas Moura deal dead ?

United’s prime target Lucas Moura will not be seen in the Red Devils jersey anytime soon after his agent Wagner Ribeiro claimed that United are not willing to raise their bid for the Brazilian play maker.
Sao Paulo is not willing to let go Moura until United meet their valuation of £30million which could be too much for United.

His agent Ribeiro reported saying:
 “Lucas Moura won’t leave. He is happy at Sao Paulo. There is no possibility he leaves now.

“Manchester United made an offer, which was rejected and they won’t make another one as they reached their limit.”
With Ferguson not willing to pay more than £26million the deal has hit a road block.

Various reports have gone on to suggest that United are after a young Argentinean midfielder by the name Ezequiel Cirigliano, who plays for River Plate and would cost around 5 million euros.

“Cazorla is not for sale, we do not talk about rumors in the press and our plans are not to even negotiate his exit,” a source is reported to have said.
