Man Utd lining up Silva move

Reports are suggesting that Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing a large bid for Valencia winger David Silva. The Spanish 22 year old is one of the brightest prospects in the Valencia and Spain squads, and is on a 7-year contract at Valencia, signed on the 21st June 2007. He can play on both sides of midfield as well as a playmaker. Ferguson sees him as the ideal addition and future replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, and is determined to make his move now.

Valencia is cash-strapped and would negotiate with clubs in order to cover its expenses. The fee being mentioned by the press is in the region of £18 million, which is a bargain for the talented winger. Silva provides an exciting addition to the 2008/09 midfield department, and with Man Utd having cash to spend and a manager-backing board, it seems that this deal could materialise even before the Premier League kicks off. Apart from this transfer, Man Utd would also be in contention for a striker. The chance to sign a sensational Spanish target does not come knocking often, and Fergie will not miss this opportunity to sign Silva, if reports are to be believed.
