Manchester
United are prepared to commit as much as £100million to their pursuit of
Angel di Maria as the ailing Barclays Premier League club try to beef
up Louis van Gaal’s squad before the end of the summer transfer window.
United
manager Van Gaal is desperate for world- class additions and has told
chief executive Ed Woodward to do all he can to bring winger Di Maria to
the club from Real Madrid.
It
is understood United have told the Argentine that, with
performance-based incentives, they will pay him around £200,000 a week.
Over a five-year deal that would take United’s investment to £100m when a
transfer fee of around £50m is included.
A salary that size would put the 26-year-old in the same ballpark as attacking stars Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie. huge-sum
Di
Maria is aware of United’s capacity to pay big wages and has told his
family of his surprise that the English club’s offer outstrips anything
made by other suitors, including mega-rich Paris Saint-Germain of
France.
It
remains to be seen if United can strike a deal with Madrid. Van Gaal
and Woodward know they cannot tempt Di Maria or any other targets with
Champions League football so financial offers have to be high.
Van Gaal knows he needs signings and wants to buy a central defender and a holding midfield player.
