David Moyes has confirmed that Manchester United chief exec Ed Woodward flew back to England in an attempt to sign Cesc Fabregas, and that United are waiting for Barcelona’s response to a second bid.
Manchester United had an initial bid of £25m rejected by Cesc’s club but returned with an improved offer on Saturday. The new bid is thought to be in the £30m region with add ons that will see the fee rise to around £35m.
Whilst Barcelona have declared the player is not for sale, a fee in that region is said to be what Barcelona are seeking before agreeing to allow the player to leave. It’s been reported that whilst Cesc wants to remain at Barcelona, but if Barcelona agree to let him go he has no problem moving to United.
Speaking on United’s pursuit of the former Arsenal captain in Japan, Moyes said:
“As I understand it, Ed had a response [to the first offer]. We have made a second offer but Ed is dealing with it rather than me.”
At the beginning of the summer a move for Cesc seemed impossible, but is now looking more feasible. Having had a first bid rejected, a second bid would only have been lodged if it had been invited. So perhaps talk of Barcelona having a specific figure that they would want United to reach before selling is true?
Veratti & Modric both cost over £35m each seems like way too much to spend on a raw unfinished talent like Veratti and the inconsistent form of Mordric. All the rest cost under £26m each and to be honest anything in the regions of £30m is a fair price. Oh & by the way Newcastle are want £25m for Cabaye so that’s that..
Moyes is using delaying tacts so that he can sign everton player at late hour.
Yea it is true what you said…
this is not professional at all
for god sake look elsewhere he would find better replacements
DUMP YOU MANUTD FOR THIS UPCOMING CAMPAIGN
why can’t Man.Utd go for those players that are already available? Like Maroune Ferliani, Leiton Baines, Ezequel Garay, Xeden Shaquri; while we wait for Cesc….time is runing out!
Must Man u sign Fabrigas??? Cabaye, Fellaini is there. If Mourinho keeps disturbing fir Rooney, lets ask for Hazard in exchange for Rooney n move ahead. Fab or no Fab, United shd get set for next season as it is crucial for Moyes himself. We need to good news soonest. Cheers.
moyes pls get him on time or forget about him time is going check other club out like man city dey hav sign almost 5players now nd we havent sign any pls if he is nt coming look for another player elsewhere like cabaye,candreva,vidal,gaitan,munian nd others we fans are nt hapi about how dis summer transfer is going pls do sometin about it fast!
moyes should be told we need 2 see work in the transfer market!
Shut all ur faces!! Transfer window closes on 31st August… We’ve got time! Favregas is legend!! Don’t stress moyes, do what it takes. Get that man to united, whatever it takes… He’s the class and big name signing has been waiting for years…!! About time u seal a deal with him!!!
I dont knw hw serious moye’s is evry day we are jst reading same rumours wen wl this end do he think tht he wl win a game agaist man city,chelsea,liverpool,asernal,totenham or even his former team everton? Get the deal done or face aboot!!
If utd like to buy midfielder they buy if they are not they leave, but UTD will “declne” to the last point if they fire Rooney. Why Mourinho & co are not looking for a striker else way & leave Rooney to focus on his career? UTD will be stupid to sell Rooney to chelsea.
Let go 4 modric or felani or cabaye and let 4get about fabregas b/cus barca wil nt let him go rememba de jst lost thiago.
