Man United transfer boost: Spanish club prefer to sell £51.5m star to Premier League
VALENCIA want to sell Andre Gomes to Manchester United instead of Juventus, according to reports.
Valencia are said to be ready to sell Gomes to United
The Red Devils have sent scouts to watch the 18-year-old a number of times this season and were lining up a massive summer bid for the player.
However, Bayern Munich stunned them by closing a deal to sign Sanches for an initial £27.5million last week.
Gomes is also represented by Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes, another with a strong relationship with the hierarchy at Old Trafford.
Nevertheless, Gomes is expected to command a hefty fee with reports in Spain suggesting Valencia have set an asking price of £51.5m.
