There are various reports linking him with PSG and Chelsea but Man Utd would rather sell him to us if there are certain buy back clauses inserted into the deal.
The problem is the sort of buy back clauses they want to insert seems to involve Man Utd being able to buy him back whenever THEY want.
Now I don't mind a buy back clause per se, where if another club offers an amount we find acceptable we inform Man Utd about it and let them use the buy back option if they want or need him back.
But to sell him to us for top dollar, let us get him to the required level, then have the cheek to be able to hand us some cash, which would no doubt be similar to what we paid, and be able to do this at any time they want is not what I'd call a good deal for us.
I think we should buy him, then tell Man Utd they can have a buy back clause that can be exercised if and when we want to sell, or if we receive an offer from another club that we find acceptable.
Other than that, we'll have to get somebody else.
