Manchester United are lining up a £22 million move for Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes.
Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to sign a long-term replacement for Edwin van der Sar with Ben Foster still considering his future at Old Trafford.
The United boss sees Valdes as a top quality replacement and cannot, yet, offer Foster the first-team football he craves in his bid to make England's World Cup team.
The Barcelona keeper's current deal finishes in June 2010.
And, having rejected the chance to open talks on a new contract, Fergie hopes the lure of Premier League football can snatch him away from La Liga.
Van der Sar agreed a one-year extension earlier this season but, at 38, Fergie knows he needs to find a world-class replacement.
Valdes would challenge the Dutch shot-stopper next season and with his experience not only in La Liga, but also the Champions League, the 27-year-old has all the qualities needed.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is interested in taking Foster, but there are sure to be a number of other clubs looking at the young shot-stopper.
Ferguson is planning for Valdes to be at Old Trafford next season

I do not want to see him here, althought the story does seem completely fabricated!
