| It'll cost you! Borussia Dortmund have slapped a £40m price tag on Marco Reus, who is wanted by Manchester United in the January transfer window |
Manchester United have been warned that David Moyes’s main transfer target Marco Reus will cost up to £40million.
Midfielder Reus had a £29.4m buy-out clause in his contract at Borussia Dortmund.
But
it is understood the situation has changed since Bayern Munich
activated a similar clause to snatch Mario Gotze last summer.
World class: United would have to break their
transfer record to sign the talented Reus, whom manager David Moyes has
identified as a key target to galvanise their midfield
The Barclays Premier League champions will now have to break their transfer record to sign the 24-year-old.
United scouts have been asking for 'world class players for every position'.
Although
midfield remains their priority, they are also keenly looking for
attacking players, a left-back and centre-back with the futures of
Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand coming into question at the end of the
season.
Nearing the end? United have started the search for Patrice Evra's replacement
The Premier League
champions have the funds, they were prepared to outbid Real Madrid on
all fronts in their attempt to sign Gareth Bale in the summer but the
Welshman was intent on a move to Spain.
The
main trouble lies with value for money in January and the fact most of
the players they want are tied up with Champions League clubs who are
reluctant to sell their prized assets.
Shopping spree: David Moyes is expected to
conduct a fair bit of transfer business in the January window as United
seek to recover from an indifferent first half of the season
