New Manchester City owner Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim intends to follow up his shock capture of Robinho by swooping for World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Fahim smashed the British transfer fee record after agreeing a last-gasp £32.5million fee with Real Madrid for the Brazilian moments before midnight yesterday.
And now the spokesman for The Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) says he'll splash a staggering £120m on Ronaldo.
“Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious.," Al-Fahim said.
"Real Madrid were estimating his value at $160m but for a player like that, to actually get him, will cost a lot more, I would think $240m.
"But why not? We are going to be the biggest club in the world, bigger than both Real Madrid and Manchester United.”
Al Fahim has also revealed other names on his shopping list – Liverpool’s Fernando Torres and Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas are also seen as potential targets.

i thk he is high on drugs... but seriously they are in a league of their own... quite possible that roman will give up on chelsea?
If they sign him, learn from manu, every season change jersey, his name alone will sell millions of jersey.
Wah good good... Now that he has mentioned $120m for Ronaldo... Real cannot go lower than that liao... lol
United should just sit tight and await the windfall... ![]()
Crazy shit ...
I read this group estimated fortune to be around USD 1 trillion or 550B pounds.
so what's a few millions? and with the oil price increasing, they are virtually untouchables.
City has hit oil....
It is said that for every $1 the price of oil goes up... These Abu Dhabi fellows gain as much as $500 million...
120million can buy Hull city? lawls i take loan from him buy my hull city..
they are just trying to flaunt the fact that they are rich. If i got a lot of money, i also can say i want to buy messi, kaka, ronaldo but in the end, i make sure none makes it here as i prefer to settle for promising youngsters.
Players who have already reached their peak only have a few good years left in them, better to settle for young players.
Russia oil vs middle east oil... who got more??? they can even buy SAF over lor..
siao lor
city damn fucking rich now!
no wonder thaksin sell
omfg, NEW MAFIA IN TOWN!!!! good bye chelsea
Later their own ppl bomb their oilfields then they poor liao
WTF
lawls i tel u oredi now players machiam commodities and investment vehicles lawls..
he is good but not so good to cost 120m.
to be the rishest club in the world is not difficult but to be bigger then ManU, Real, Milan, Barca and so on will takes a long while.. you might be able to buy in all the best players money can get you but to be a bigger club then them would probably takes you another 10 years..
welcome man city to the cash rich family....
Imagine if ronaldo really moves over to Man city.. United fans will hate him!![]()
they make robinho so pitiful already
fuck off la
