Real Madrid to make 20 million pound bid for Vidic - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

Spanish football club Real Madrid is poised to make a 20-million-pound end-of-season bid for Manchester United central defender Nemanja Vidic. The Serbian star is the principal target of Real president Florentino Perez to bolster the Spanish giants' defence, reports The Sun. Perez has a reputation for getting the players he wants and will not worry about upsetting Sir Alex Ferguson again. Real hope the lure of playing at the Bernabeu, which proved irresistible to Cristiano Ronaldo, will give them a huge advantage as they try to negotiate a deal. Vidic, 28, has been a mainstay of United's defence since arriving from Spartak Moscow for seven million pounds three years ago.
