Real Madrid are planning a double swoop on Manchester United's strike force, having set their sights on Old Trafford frontman Carlos Tevez, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, claims The Daily Mirror.
The Spanish giants' Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain says Tevez isa target for the Primera Liga side, with Real hoping to take advantageof United's failure to thrash out a deal with Tevez. The striker isstill on loan to United, and the Manchester club have yet to agree anew contract with the forward and advisors MSI.
"I hope Carlos comes. He's a great player and, if he comes, he will be welcomed," said Higuain this week.
Tevez,meanwhile, claims he is happy in the Premier League. "I love playing inthe Premier League and I am very happy at Manchester United," he said.But with United reportedly weighing up a move for 18-year-old,£20m-rated Gremio wonderkid Douglas Costa, it is possible United may beunwilling to fund a £30m permanent move for the former Boca Juniorsplayer, who scored 19 times for the Red Devils last season.
TheSpanish giants' interest in Ronaldo continues, and it is widelyanticipated they will resume their dogged pursuit of the Portuguesestar next summer. Last weekend saw coach Bernd Schuster say he expectedto land Ronaldo for the 2009/10 season. |
