United willing to meet Herrera’s £30.5m buy-out clause, in negotiations for Fellaini

ander-herrera
David Moyes is willing to splash £30.5million on Athletico Bilbao midfielder, Ander Herrera.
The player, who was dropped for their 3-1 loss to Real Madrid last weekend, is eager to make the move and is ready to take a pay cut to join the Premier League side.
Journalist Chris Wheeler said: “Manchester United are ready to pay the £30.5million buyout clause to sign Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao. The deal will include United agreeing to play a friendly against the Spanish club to help finance the renovation of their stadium.
“Bilbao president Jose Urrutia did not want to lose face by letting Herrera leave for anything less but is now confident that the Premier League champions will pay in full to clinch David Moyes’s first signing.
“United are still in negotiations to complete two other deals before the transfer window closes.”
Spanish football writer Andy West added: “Athletic will not budge from their stance of insisting that the full €36m of Herrera’s buy-out clause is paid, so it’s just a question of whether United are prepared to stretch that far – with a little bit of help from Herrera.
His deal with United will be worth around £3.3million a year – around £64,000 a week – and he will sign a five year contract with the club.
United are reported to have agreed personal terms with Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini and are hoping to strike a deal with the Toffees, who have moved to replace the giant Belgian with Fernando  from FC Porto.

“I love Falcao and Cavani” – Wenger

Image
Arsene Wenger has reserved praise for strikers Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain) and Radamel Falcao (Monaco) and hailed them as two of the best in the world. However, the Arsenal manager feels Falcao is slightly better in front of goal, although Cavani is more mobile. The two strikers will come face to face this weekend, in a keenly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. “I believe it’s very difficult to make a difference because for me they are very similar. They have an animal aspect inside of them. Both of them are animals,” Wenger told Bein Sport. “I think Cavani is a bit more mobile, and makes more runs off the ball, and Falcao is a bit more of a box player, a bit more of a killer than Cavani. “But both of them, I love. And honestly, not to protect one or the other, but it’s very difficult to make a difference between the two.” Cavani has scored twice in the French league this season, since his summer move from Napoli, while Falcao has four

The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children. Vanguard  reports : The Presidency, on its part accused ASUU leaders of treachery and warned the university lecturers not to dare the resolve of government to carry out its threat to sack them if they failed to resume.
