Cuedes between Monaco and Manchester

The in-demand Benfica winger Goncalo Cuedes was omitted from his team’s squad this weekend as speculations regarding his future continue.

The talented Portugal international was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford during the January transfer window as the Red Devils appear extremely keen to add the 20-year-old to their squad, but Portugal media outlet Abola have spread the word on the new development regarding the player.

French Ligue 1 side Monaco are thought to be set to join Manchester United in the race for Guedes suggesting that his suggested transfer to Manchester United is long way from being completed since Leonardo Jardim has also expressed strong desire to see the Benfica star in his team.

The negotiations between the president of Benfica, player’s agent and the representatives of the two clubs will continue this week as it remains to be seen who will win the race to sign the highly-rated youngster.
