AS Monaco, despite expressing a desire to control spending, is reportedly in talks with Manchester United winger Nani. The Portuguese international, whose contract expires in 2014, may be released by Manchester United for a compensation fee of around 10 million euros. Nani, who had limited playing time in the Premier League last season, is said to be open to a departure and has attracted interest from clubs like Tottenham and AS Roma.
However, negotiations might face obstacles due to Nani’s high annual salary of around 7 million euros. The financial demands of the player from Praia could be a stumbling block, and it’s reported that these high salary expectations were a factor in the breakdown of contract extension talks with Manchester United.
