Tottenham Hotspura s Hugo Lloris has claimed that he is a watchfula of David De Geaa s situation at Manchester United amidst links with Real Madrid . while stating that he desired to play in the Champions League in a bid to improve himself.
Hugo Lloris has been identified as a possible target for Manchester United as reports suggest that David De Gea is on his way to a high-profile move to Real Madrid this summer. With De Gea keeping mum regarding his future and refusing to sign a contract extension, it seems that Manchester United fear the worst as they look for a competent replacement for the upcoming season.
Manchester Uniteda s target Hugo Lloris has spoken out about his future, making it clear that he wants to play at the highest level in order to improve himself.
a For any player you need to play at the highest level to improve yourself to help your national team to improve. I think every player wants to play in the Champions League because it is the highest level. We work for that and I hope to play Champions League football again.a
At the age of 28, Hugo Lloris will prove to be a good investment for Manchester United but it will not be easy to negotiate with Tottenham Hotspur as the playera s current contract extends till 2019. With David De Geaa s contract expiring next year, United cannot expect a hefty return on his sale and hence will be cautious while negotiating for Hugo Lloris. However with the player himself interested in a move and Louis Van Gaal equipped with a A?200 million transfer budget, it will not be impossible to rule out a possible transfer if Manchester United indeed zero in on Lloris as a transfer target.
However Tottenham Hotspur have been warned against selling Hugo Lloris if the club is to compete in the English Premier League next season. The Frenchman holds immense potential for the club and it will be interesting to see if they play ball with Manchester United this summer.
