Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward has flown to Barcelona to try finalise a £22million deal for Spain star Pedro. Woodward travelled to Barca ahead of the Spanish Super Cup second leg between Barcelona and Atletico Bilbao at the Nou Camp on Monday.
United are keen to tie up a deal for Pedro, having sold Angel Di Maria to Paris St Germain for £44m, a loss of some £15m on the £59.7m they paid Real Madrid for the British record signing.
Although
United boss Louis van Gaal is said to have reservations about Pedro’s
lack of pace but Woodward is said to be in position to close the deal
and meet Pedro’s release clause of £21.7m.
