Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea on alert as Krasic eyes deal

CSKA Moscow's Milos Krasic is set for a January move to the Barclays Premier League. [LNB]The £9million-rated Serbia playmaker caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson in two impressive Champions League performances against Manchester United. [LNB]But Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea also sent scouts to watch him during CSKA's 3-3 draw at Old Trafford last month. [LNB] Familiar face: Krasic (left) could be on the same side as United's Nemanja Vidic[LNB]CSKA president Yevgeny Giner says he will not stand in the way of Krasic moving on to bigger and better things. [LNB]And the 25-year-old's agent says England is the most likely destination for a player who has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and AC Milan. [LNB]'I think that if Krasic leaves CSKA in January, he is 90 per cent likely to go to England,' said agent Dejan Joksimovic. [LNB]  'Manchester United? There are three or four big English clubs, with important financial resources, interested in him.'[LNB] Inter Milan are the most recent team linked to him, but neither Milan club would be able to play him this season without offloading another non-EU player. [LNB]'I don't know anything about Inter while I heard something about AC Milan a month ago through my partner, but nothing concrete,' said Joksimovic. [LNB]'In January it is much more probable the English track will be followed, also because there aren't problems about extra EU players. [LNB]'If Krasic won't leave in January, in the summer Italy could return as a possibility. And if Milan were to come forward, it would be an excellent solution for Milos, no doubt about it.' [LNB]CSKA are preparing for a winter of transition after finishing fifth in the Russian league and failing to qualify for next season's Champions League. [LNB]Giner says he will listen to acceptable offers for Krasic and goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, who has also been linked to United. [LNB]'Nobody at CSKA is happy with our position in the league,' said Giner. 'We set ourselves only one task: to be champions. [LNB]'As for the rumours about our leading players, such as Akinfeev or Krasic - if we receive an offer from a top club we will discuss it. But from an average club, it will not be considered.'  [LNB] Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City target Krasic in showdown talks with CSKAMan United and Chelsea must pay more than £75m to land Valencia star VillaManchester City target Van der Wiel is staying at Ajax, says defender's agentEXCLUSIVE: Chelsea target Lukaku - the sensation they call the new DrogbaChelsea fail in £53m Aguero bid as Man City enter race for Argentina starARSENAL FC
