It seems that in recent days this blog has contained a lot of news surrounding Manchester City and its business on and off the football pitch. Continuing this pattern, here's another story about the Eastlands club. Except this time, it might be better to dismiss this report as false and just a product of the media machine in Europe trying to sell papers.Rumor has it that owner of Manchester City and member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has approached Real Madrid with a $1.4 billion offer to buyout the Spanish club.
On Tuesday, Madrid issued a statement dispelling these rumors. Club President Florentino Perez stated that he and Sheikh Mansour have been friends for years and that his interest in Madrid was fabricated.
An audacious move such as this from Manchester City's owner does not seem so surprising when you consider the waves the club has already made in the transfer market. Targeting the best players in the world is now a reality for City, after signing the likes of Robinho and Carlos Tevez.
And Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has already shown he isn't afraid to make controversial business moves (i.e. firing of Mark Hughes).
Who's to say that world domination in soccer isn't far behind? Maybe Real Madrid will become a feeder club for Manchester City.
But seriously: this buyout will NEVER happen!
