English clubs bid for Sporting starletby Tom Adams, 14 October 2007Miguel Velosoâs agent claims that unnamed English clubs have tabled offers for the Sporting starlet, with Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly the two teams in the hunt.The Premier Leagueâs top two sides have been continuously linked with Veloso in recent weeks and it would appear that one or both of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have now made their interest formal.The 21-year-old can play in defence but has shone in midfield and played alongside Deco, Maniche and Cristiano Ronaldo when winning his first cap for Portugal in their 2-0 win over Azerbaijan on Saturday.Having seen both Nani and Ronaldo leave for Manchester United in recent years it looks likley that Veloso could be the latest youngster to depart Sporting as his agent, Paulo Barbosa, claims a Premier League side has been close to matching his £20 million release clause.âThere have been several contacts and several offers from England,â Barbosa told the News of the World.âI wonât name the clubs but one of them was not far from his buy-out clause.âIf thereâs agreement from Sporting and the player, itâs possible for him to leave.âBut thereâs no pressure or desire that it should happen yet.âhttp://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/Ne...in-for-Veloso/
