Nani 'likely' to leave Man Utd this summer

Nani will more than likely depart Manchester United at the end of the season.

The Portuguese winger is heading towards the Old Trafford exit door according to his agent, Andrea Pastorello, but the next destination is not yet known.

Nani only signed a new Red Devils contract in September last year but will move on if interested clubs can meet the player's salary demands.

Italian side Fiorentina were showing significant interest in January and it is believed that La Viola could again come in for his services in the summer.

"Nani is a very important player and at this time the only thing I can say is that he is likely to leave Manchester," Pastorello told Violanews.com.

"The problem for Fiorentina and other Italian clubs is the player's salary. But we will evaluate all bids.

"Our relationship with United is great. Fiorentina have to speak with Manchester United about Anderson (who is currently on loan in Florence) and maybe there will be an opportunity to talk about Nani too."
