Man United's Transfer Pursuit Could Cost £72 Million
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that the club is not willing to meet the ridiculous demands for their transfer targets.
"We have made inquiries for all three players, but Sir Alex will not be paying these ridiculous fees."Evertons Leighton Baines is seen as a replacement for the aging French defender Patrice Evra, who has suffered a slight dip in form in recent games. If Manchester United wanted to purchase the English and Everton defender they will have to part with £20 million, something that the club doesnt want to do. Tottenhams Luka Modric who is also the target of several clubs across Europe is seen as a replacement for Nani, who has been told to commit or leave the club. According to the sources, Spurs have told Manchester United that they would require £32 million for the services of the 26-year-old. With Paul Scholes sealing a one year extension at Old Trafford, sooner or later he will have to retire permanently meaning Newcastles Tiote may be the perfect replacement, although Newcastle United have demanded £20 million.
