United had their latest £30m bid for Sao Paolo midfielder Lucas Moura rejected again. The first offer was £25.9m, but Sao Paolo only gets 80% of any transfer fee with the other 20% going to the player, so Sao Paolo said that they wanted at least £23.5m for themselves. United's latest bid matched that demand - but now the Brasilians want even more. Frustrating to say the least ... probably better to just walk away, it's a ton of money for a 19-year-old. A deal would have to be completed before August 1 because this is the deadline where Sao Paolo would lose another 10% of a transfer fee to the player, which would make a possible transfer even more expensive.
