Carlos Tevez out? Troublesome Balotelli staying? Big money splashed on the market again? What are Manchester City cooking ahead of this summer’s transfer window?
With City’s owner converting the club’s £350M debts into shares earlier this year, the path seems clear for more action on the transfer market this summer. In an interview conducted by The Sun back in January, Manchester City chief financial officer Graham Wallace was quoted as saying:
“The owner’s decision to convert debt to equity is in line with their previously-stated financial strategy. This is fantastic news for supporters of Manchester City—whose club is now on a secure financial foundation that gives a tremendous platform to build from in the future.”
Despite spending around £200M on players only since the beginning of the Sheik Mansour era, Manchester City are not finished yet in terms of signings, according to Tottenham Hotspur’s embarrassed Harry Redknapp. The English man voiced out his concerns to The Sun:
“The man from Abu Dhabi has got so much money. I mean, it isn’t like money to him, is it? They tell me they have got one or two players signed already who will blow your brains out.
“They are not going to stop, until they win the championship... and even then the Champions League. They’ve got a strong squad which is only going to get better.
“And more so because they have got unlimited funds to buy anybody they want and they can pay the wages. They've got players now earning £200,000 a week. It's crazy!”
But Carlos Tevez may quit Manchester City’s sky blue world of money as Coach Roberto Mancini regrettably presumed. “Carlos [Tevez] told us back in December that he wants to go to Italy. But if he changes his mind, I’d be happy,” Mancini said through The Sun’s microphone.
So far, the public can expect Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko to remain at the City of Manchester stadium as Mancini confirmed on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Ajax coach Frank de Boer has revealed that the Sky Blues are eyeing defender Jan Vertonghen by stating that “Mancini was at the stadium and Man City are interested in signing the player.”
However, the greatest speculation is that Udinese’s Alexis Sanchez could be at Eastlands soon.
