Speculation mounts over Nani Juventus transfer
By bennyp, 15 Jun 2012 bennyp is a Roar Rookie
Manchester United winger Luis Nani is reportedly leaving Old Trafford by transfer at season’s end. It is speculated that Juventus are the frontrunners of the pack.
Nani hinted in an interview that offers were not only coming from La Liga and the Premier League, but that Serie A was also in the mix.
It is believed that Sir Alex and his men have severely upgraded Nani’s pay from £90k per week to £130k a week.
This should be no surprise, seeing as he served his time well in the past few seasons as a key chain in the link.
In the past two seasons the trickster has racked up 15 goals and 15 assists in 43 appearances.
He scored 13 goals and 17 assists in the previous season, being the league’s highest assister in the 2010/11 season.
Trouble is there are far too many speculations and not enough real evidence when it comes to transfers in the footballing world.
Many predicted Nani would put pen to paper on a deal with White-Blacks last year, this of course did not happen.
Could this see the end of Nani’s career at Old Trafford?

What utter dross! By saying “it is speculated” or “some sources say”, you’re being no better than the cesspits of football journalism that are tribalfootball and caughtoffside. There are other places where people can get their doses of transfer muppetry. This probably aint one of those places.

I think it’s time for to say goodbye to Nani. For the money he is getting paid Man U can bring much better talent.

Nani’s obviously a talented player, and his goals and assists in the EPL show that he has been a success. But he seems to lack the endurance and carry his form consistently throughout a seasons, and I question his abilities in big moments. With Ashley Young and Toni V out wide, we can certainly afford to sell Nani and use the money (if the Glazer’s allow) to bring in some real talent in central midfield
