Manchester City hope to land
Atletico Madrid striker Diego
Forlan with a £20 million bid.
The Mirror says City have refused to take ‘no' for an
answer from Forlan's club and will send a delegation to the Spanish
capital to see if they can find a way of landing the former
Manchester United cult hero.
The Uruguayan finished the campaign as La Liga’s leading scorer
and he would love to come back to the Premier League – despite
firing Atletico into the Champions League almost single-handedly in
the last few weeks.
City have been tracking Forlan for months, trying swap deals and
lately making cash offers.
He is City's No.1 target for the central striker vacancy in
their side for next season, ahead of Blackburn’s injury-hit forward
Roque Santa Cruz.
