Spurs, Arsenal & City To Wait For Veloso?
Portuguese International Veloso has been at the centre of intense media speculation linking him with a move away from Sporting Lisbon to a host of Premiership clubs including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and big spenders Manchester City.
European and Premiership champions Manchester United had been strongly linked with 22-year-old Veloso throughout the course of last season and have already signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani from the Portuguese club in recent years.
Veloso had been expected to move away from the José Alvalade stadium after EURO 2008, with AC Milan and Fiorentina along with the interest from the Premier League, linked to the midfielder.
However, a Sporting spokesman told SkySports.com that any club seeking to enter negotiations would be futile in doing so. Veloso is rumoured to have an agreement in place to remain at the Portuguese giants until the summer.
Veloso has been at Sporting since 2000, coming through the youth ranks to make his senior debut for the Leoes in 2006 and his International debut for Portugal in 2007. Despite reports of a bust-up with coach Paulo Bento, Veloso looks destined to remain with Sporting until the summer at least, with there sure to be no shortage of suitors at the end of the season.
