Manchester United are closing in on their fourth signing of the summer, and its a big one; Angel di Maria. According to Sky Sports News, Manchester United and Real Madrid will continue talks early next week, and a deal should be finalised before the weekend – Breaking a British transfer record in the process.
The deal is thought to be worth around £50million before add-ons and bonuses, and he’ll earn close to £200,000-a-week. He’ll also wear the famous #7 shirt.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague broke the news yesterday evening:
“At long last there is significant movement in the seemingly never ending, ‘Will he stay or will he go’ saga of Angel di Maria. It now looks certain that he will leave Real Madrid and become a Manchester United player. The final meetings will take place at the beginning of next week.” Balague said.
He continued: “United will pay between 60-70 million Euros (£48-55m) for the player. More than 60. A great deal for Madrid.”
“So advanced, in fact, are the negotiations that it has already been agreed that Di Maria will wear the number seven shirt, worn in the past by no lesser players than David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Bryan Robson.”
