Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to take on Real Madrid in the race to sign Valencia midfielder David Silva. Real Madrid were reportedly close to a deal for the Spanish international but it emerged yesterday evening that Ferguson is considering launching an offer to tempt the player to Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old is ready to quit Valencia and challenge for major European honours with the wideman being linked with Chelsea, Barcelona, and Liverpool in the past few months, however Real Madrid and Manchester United are now considered the front – runners to land the tricky winger.
Real Madrid made contact with Valencia last week regarding the availability of Silva with the Spanish media reporting that Madrid chiefs would secure a deal in the coming weeks, however reports this morning suggest that the door is still open for Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to make an approach. Fergie is a keen admirer of Silva and has tracked him for the last year, but Ferguson has warned that he will not pay over the odds for player’s in the transfer market, and admitted he was only looking at making one addition to the Red Devils squad.
