Manchester United have reportedly been told that they will have to spend at least €30million (£25m) if they are to bring Sporting Lisbon’s Joao Palhinha to Old Trafford.
It's no secret that United are in need of a defensive midfielder. According to Jornal de Noticias, United are preparing a £16m bid for Palhinha but are going to be told that their offer is way below Sporting's valuation.
The Portugal international has a release clause of £50m in his contract but Sporting are reportedly willing to accept just half that amount. Palhinha has become a key part of his side's starting XI since graduating through the club’s youth ranks.

Several other Premier League clubs are said to be keeping him on their radar despite him signing a new deal with his employers in December.
Meanwhile, United have been handed an encouraging assessment amid their mooted pursuit of Victor Osimhen. The Napoli striker, who is also being linked with a move to Real Madrid, has netted 11 goals in 22 games this season.
Italian agent Alessandro Moggi, son of former Juventus director Luciano, has stated that Napoli may be able to replace the striker if needed, as long as the books are balanced. Speaking to Radio Marte (via Football Italia ), the 49-year-old said: “I think a lot of top European clubs are interested in signing him, he has already proved his qualities.
“It remains to be seen if Napoli will sell Osimhen. Surely they have already proved to be able to replace big players they sold in the past. There is always the risk of receiving big offers and it appears clear to me that Napoli must keep an eye on their finances.”
