Manchester United submit €30 million bid for Spanish midfielder, but offer dismissed out of hand by Athletic Bilbao president.

Athletic Bilbao have announced that they have received an offer of €30 million (approximately £25.6m) for midfielder Ander Herrera, thought to be from Manchester United.

The Daily Express reported that the Red Devils have submitted a proposal to Athletic Club, but it is only now that the bid has been confirmed.

The Spanish club’s own Twitter feed revealed the bid has been made, but indicated that with a release clause of €36 million (around £30.8m), they would hold out for the full amount.

Tweets follow below from president Josu Urrutia, with translations underneath each.

Urrutia: “There is an offer for @anderherrera8.”

Urrutia: “Our club is different, based on sentiment. Our goal is not to make money.”

Urrutia: “Last night we received the proposal, and we have said we do not negotiate for our players.”

Urrutia: “For a player to leave, first the player has to express his desire to leave the club and deposit the full release clause.”

Urrutia: “For us, Athletic Club is unique. The players have to feel the same way.”

Manchester United astonishingly haven’t signed a central midfielder since Owen Hargreaves in 2007, but have work to do if they are to bring Herrera to Old Trafford.
