Spanish paper Sport are reporting that there may be a resolution to the Thiago Alcantara transfer saga soon after Manchester United tweaked their offer to allay the midfielder’s fears.
The paper claim that having seen the ill fated transfer of former Barcelona starlet Giovani Dos Santos to Tottenham, Thiago wanted a clause put into his contract that allows him to leave next summer for €20m if he doesn’t play a certain amount of games.
Thiago’s problems with Barcelona stem from the fact that he doesn’t see enough playing time at the Nou Camp starting just 15 La Liga games last season and with this in mind, he is looking to ensure he doesn’t find himself in a similar predicament at his new club.
Thiago’s lack of game time last season saw him fall out of the Spanish national team and with the World Cup next summer, he has designs of making the trip to Brazil so needs to ensure that he is given the game time to ensure that he figures in Vicente del Bosque’s plans.
Initially United were said to be reluctant to add the clause to his contract but with the player insisting, and the deal in the balance, United are said to be ready to add to play ball. It’s said that Thiago is set to triple his wages with a move to United, but the financial aspect of the deal is only part of the appeal of a move to United.
In all honesty Thiago shouldn’t have any problem reaching an appearance target. With Scholes’ retirement, Fletcher’s health problem, Anderson seemingly incapable of remaining fit for a whole season and some questioning the quality of tom Cleverley, midfield is undoubtedly United’s weakest area. The side has been calling out for reinforcements for quite a while, and the Spaniard should be the solution.
Moyes should act fast n get dis thiago…ez wat we nid,any manutd fan goin against us buyin thiago is a witch
Really this man should join man u coz it the best team he fits in.
I will luv to see him in Man United red shirt next season to add more spice to our mildfield.

I do not know why barce don’t want Thiago to move from dere.but they want to buy players from other teams fuck dem especially Rosell.

I share your thoughts as well, moyes has been eyeing players always preparing and aimming @ players it makes me wonder if he can make it oin ManU

Why Man u, were so slow for business. Please moyes should quickly an go pick him, b/cause time is going
i wonder why thiago is always hesitated in a game time at united sure red will offer you a complete 90mit to play but in domestic and ‘europian league, unless you fail to perform at a very best, so join us if u are confidence of your self. red devils are the best option for u.
I am fans of manchester united. United need player expessaly mindfider and deferns.
Guys even me i was asking my self the same. What does this old waiting to sign players?..cash is there, about pauni 70m, what does he waiting for?…am realy confused with this guy..Thiago may not be ours am teling u coz of this coch!..Aaah!..
we got very strong strikers…please MOYES we need atleast a defender and a midfielder coz last season almost every match we played we had been scored, remember even on the first day of the EPL you(everton) beat us by 1 goal to 0… i know we are very strong but we really need THIAGO.
