Wigan Athletic are reportedly demanding ₤8 million for star midfielder Wilson Palacios, as Manchester United prepare to step up their interest.
The Honduran has impressed for the Latics this season, and along with Ecuadorian team-mate Luis Antonio Valencia has earned strong interest from the likes of United and Liverpool.
And according to The Sun, Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to hammer out a deal to bring the 23-year-old to Old Trafford in the summer.
But Wigan are reluctant to let their star attractions leave so easily, and have slapped an ₤8 million price tag on Palacios, while Valencia may yet be tempted to stay at the JJB for another season.
An inside source said: “There has been contact between the clubs and Wigan have told United Palacios would cost £8m.
“Steve Bruce wants to keep him but it’s difficult to stand in the player’s way when United come calling.
“Valencia may stay at Wigan one more season but nothing’s been decided yet.”
