Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour to offer one billion eu - IMScouting
Sheikh Mansour, the owner of Manchester City , has sensationally been linked with a move to buy Real Madrid by Spanish newspaper AS.
The member of the Abu Dhabi royal family has instructed intermediaries to approach Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and a meeting is expected to take place in early 2010.
It was long believed that Spanish clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona could not be bought from the fans who own the club.
But, AS points out a statute in the laws governing Real Madrid that open the possibility of "Transformation, merger and extinction of the entity" through a referendum (Article 58) among all share holders.
Reports also suggest that Sheikh Mansour is willing to take on the debts at Real Madrid which would entice many to back the bid.
Sheikh Mansour is the brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, he spent over 200 million pounds securing ownership of Manchester City in August 2008.
this reply from a city fan had me laughing.
"This would be a massive buy for our owner. As a massive city fan I think he would
use Madrid as a feeder club for city as its a well known fact here in Stockport that he will use all in his power to get us as close to United as possible.
