"Levante" club officials announced that they have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the loan of forward Diego Forlan. Earlier, Forlan himself stated that he is ready to leave Man Utd and play for Atletico Madrid, who are interested in signing him. The directors of Levante, a team that recently promoted to the Primera Division from a lower league, claim that the English club is willing to loan Forlan for a year. "We have already received approval from Manchester, but we still need to negotiate the conditions with the player, which is not easy," said the sports director of Levante. This summer, Valencia has already acquired players like Johan Mjallby and Ian Harte. The team also loaned striker Sergio Garcia from Barcelona. [Updated] However, after the friendly matches with PSV Eindhoven, which Man Utd won 1-0, team coach Sir Alex Ferguson says that he is not planning to send Forlan to Levante: "I am sure they are interested in him, but they will not succeed in getting him."
