San's the man... for £30million
Posted Wednesday, June 08, 2011 by The Sun
MANCHESTER UNITED will have to splash £30million to prise winger Alexis Sanchez from Udinese.
United were hoping to land the Chile golden boy, 22, for £5m less - but the Italians are refusing to lower their asking price.
Sanchez prefers a link-up with Alex Ferguson ahead of Barcelona, as he knows he would spend as much time on the bench as the Nou Camp pitch.
His agent, Fernando Felicevich, has met bosses at the Spanish giants to discuss personal terms but NO deal is in place.
And there is a belief at United, who have also held extensive talks, that it is a ploy by Udinese to push up Sanchez's price.
Manchester City were also in the hunt, yet have dropped out of the race.
That leaves Chelsea as United's biggest rivals for one of European football's most wanted men.
