City: £120million Ronaldo Next, Then Fabregas & Torres

A source close to new Manchester City owner’s ADUG has revealed that Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, spokesman for the group, has told him that he intends to do with City, what Roman Abramovic did with Chelsea.

After signalling their intent with the British record signing of Robinho from Real Madrid for £32.5million. They now intend to go after the leading players in the world, with Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo top of their shopping list along with EURO 2008 winners Cesc Fagregas and Fernando Torres.

Anil Bhoyrul, who is the Editorial Director of Arabian Business.com and close friend of The (ADUG) spokesman Sulaiman, told TalkSport, that the group would even pay a staggering £120million to land Portuguese International Ronaldo.

Bhoyrul told TalkSport: “We had a coffee with him [Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim] last night and he plans to do with Manchester City what [Roman] Abramovich did with Chelsea, bid for players he knew he could not get. But he wanted to make a statement.

“I have a list of the players Dr Sulaiman wants to go out and bid for. One is Ronaldo.

“He says he doesn't have a problem tabling a £120 million bid, just to do it and see what the reaction is.

“His tactic is to say to Manchester United and Chelsea, 'hey, we're in town.

“He also rates Torres and Fabregas. With Ronaldo, he thinks they are the three best players in the world.”
