Transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio this morning reports that Monaco could be close to acquiring Benfica wideman Nicolas Gaitan. Fresh from receiving €80 million from Real Madrid for the services of James, Benfica and Monaco are believed to be close to an agreement. If the two clubs can close the deal it’s unlikely Monaco would continue in their pursuit of Inter’s Fredy Guarin. There had been contacts for Guarin but if Gaitan is secured it’s unlikely the Colombian will move to the principality anytime soon.
