Kop target Krasic holds Moscow talks

Milos Krasic will hold talks with his bosses at CSKA Moscow next month after Sportsmail revealed Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City were tracking the Serbia international.

The 25-year-old, whose contract expires in December 2011, admits he is keen to test himself in one of Europe's elite leagues and has revealed a love of the Barclays Premier League.
 
Krasic impressed during CSKA's two recent Champions League matches against Manchester United, which saw the English side win 1-0 in Moscow ahead of a 3-3 draw in England this week.
 
Scouts from Arsenal, Liverpool and City were in the Old Trafford crowd, but Krasic admits an admiration of the trio's Premier League rivals.
 
'I like United,' he told Russian newspaper Sport Express. 'They have such a high class defender in Nemanja Vidic.'
 
Krasic knows Vidic well from Serbia duty and the days when the defender played for Spartak Moscow. 
 
'But I also have great friends at Chelsea: Branislav Ivanovic and Yuri Zhirkov. So, I'm not "sick" for any particular team.
 
'But, simply, Premier League matches are good to watch. The game is quick, stadiums are full and it's high quality.'
 
Krasic has also caught the eye of AC Milan and Real Madrid, but suitors would be reluctant to pay more than half of the £18m price-tag that CSKA are looking for.
 
The attacking midfielder also says that the Spanish and Italian leagues are attactive, but he does not want to be distracted by talks about his future till the end of the Russian season.
 
CSKA have three more matches to play in the Russian League and face an uphill task to qualify for next season's top European competition.
 
'I have two more years under contract with CSKA,' said Krasic. 'It is important to finish the season, help the club to break into the Champions League, and then we'll see.'
 
His agent says he expects a number of top European clubs to be interested in Krasic but insists there is no offer yet on the table. However, he confirmed talks were planned for the end of the Russian season.
