Manchester United To Bid for David Silva
Posted on 17. Jun, 2009 by admin in English Football, Football News
Following the surprise signing of Michael Owen this season, there is now much speculation that Premier League Champions Manchester United is in talks to launch a bid for the Valencia winger David Silva.
According to a newspaper source the European giants were after signing the Spanish star last year 2008 but were unsuccessful as the young 23 year old player decided to stay at the Mestalla and continue playing for his Valencian club. But with the market now open and bids in full circulation Manchester United, coached by Sir Alex Ferguson, has once again got its eye on Silva.
Reports have word than Ferguson is set to bid £25 million for the Spanish international once the transfer window re opens. Despite Valencia rejecting all initial approaches for the younger player it seems that the £25 million might just persuade a sale. It is rumoured that top football clubs Liverpool and Real Madrid were also extremely interested in purchasing David Silva.
Should Valencia agree to sell, then Ferguson is hoping to seal the deal sometime in January 2010. The big man is said he would much prefer to secure the services of Silva well in advance of the commencement of the World Cup as he believes the young star could excel in his international games and as a result his value would become inflated thus raising the stakes in the buyer’s market.
David Silva is without doubt a talented player and has represented Spain at every level. With the news of a possible move to Old Trafford, Manchester United fans will be watching Silva’s performance during the World Cup tournament to see just what he is actually worth.
