Louis Saha.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with 25-year old over the past few weeks but new reports claim that Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea are trying to snap-up Saha behind the back of United. But a Fulham spokeswoman has slammed reports saying that Chelsea have made a bid for the Frenchman and that the £18 million price-tag is 'nonsense'. "There has been no contact from Chelsea for Saha, it is not true," said the spokeswoman. "It is also nonsense to suggest Fulham have put a price tag of 18 million pounds on Saha. None of these reports are true." she added. Saha has also reportedly issued an ultimatum to the London outfit about his on/off move to Old Trafford. "As soon as I meet anyone from the club, the conversations stop. One day it's 'yes', the next it's 'no'." said the Frenchman who has banged in 15 goals this season. "They're treating me like a product." "Either I go at the end of the month or at the end of my contract in 2006. If Fulham like me that much, they'll have to look after me until the end. "And, in the end, I'll leave for nothing." added Saha. |
