ANTONIO VALENCIA IN DEMAND



Well, you would think that after all of the spending that Real Madrid has done (Ronaldo and Kaka) they would be quite satisfied, this is not the case, Ecuadorian Antonio Valencia who has been courted by Manchester United for a week o so is now in Real Madrid's radar and possibly a yet to be identified club.

Dan Whelan Wigan's president, who Valencia plays for right now, has said that he will be hearing offers from Manchester United and Real Madrid to see who will tag Valencia for his services.

Whelan will be meeting with both of these clubs in the next three to four days, while there is another team interested in the player services who is not from England.

"We can say where he will play. If Real Madrid offers two more millions pounds more than Manchester United or vice verse, will depend where Valencia wants to play", Whelan was quoted.

Manchester United had made an offer 16 million pounds for the player until Real Madrid entered the picture and so did the other unidentified club. So it seems that Wigan will be trying to get these clubs to pay as much possible for the 23 yr old player.

Valencia started his career with El National (Ecuador) in 2005 and moved to Villareal, from the Spanish league, in the same year. However he was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva for most of 2005-2006.

At the beginning of next season he joined English Premier League Wigan Athletic, were he made his debut August 19 2006, he scored his first goal for Wigan against Manchester City October 21 2006. The loan was extended next season and in January 18 2008 he transferred for an undisclosed fee, signing a three year contract.
