Man Utd: 5 Potential Clubs For Nemanja Vidic To Join In The Summer

5. AS Monaco

Let's face it, AS Monaco have been linked with the whose who of world football, and Nemanja Vidic is just one of the names Claudio Ranieri is said to be looking at for the summer. Monaco currently sit in second place in the Ligue 1, and hope that with some significant summer dealings, they can do even better in the next campaign. If there is one thing league leader Paris St. Germain have a considerable advantage over them, it is in the defensive area - with the likes of Alex, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos amongst others at their disposal. Though 32 years of age, Vidic likely has a couple of seasons left at the top level and he may wish to gather as much cash as he can before retirement. Monaco have a no-tax policy which has encouraged the likes of Falcao, Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez to join the club, and this may be enough to convince the want-away centre back. To add to that, former teammate Dimitar Berbatov recently joined the side, and it is well known that the two sparked a good relationship during their time at the club. To add to reasons for Monaco's interest, looking at their squad, they are lacking in the defensive department. Ricardo Carvalho is 35, Eric Abidal is 34 and beyond that, they have a number of loanees and unproven options. As stated, Vidic is in the later stages of his career, but is still a world class centre back who would add significant ability to the Monaco defence. This one very much depends on Nemanja's motifs.
