New Delhi: The supposed 'Richest Club In the World' have made Valencia hitman David Villa their No.1 target when the transfer window re-opens in January.
They shocked the football world by pinching Robinho from under Chelsea's noses on transfer deadline day in August, and now Manchester City are planning an audacious bid to team up the brilliant Brazilian with the dynamic Spaniard.
Reports from magazine The People suggest that manager Mark Hughes has earmarked Villa, who finished top scorer at Euro 2008 and currently leads the race for the Pichichi in La Liga, as the man to score the goals to take City to the next level as serious challengers to the top four.
Former Barcelona player Hughes has issued a glowing report to the clubs owners in order for them to launch an enquiry regarding the players availability.
The report also suggests that a bid of 50m Euros is to be tabled to test Valencia's resilience, but the question remains whether Villa will want to move away from the Mestalla, having apparently rejected the advances of Real Madrid over the summer.
However, every player has a price and it appears that the Manchester club certainly has the funds to meet whatever asking price that Los Che demand for the player.
