‘This is just the beginning’, ‘CFG firing ahead beyond the future’ – Man City fans react as owners set to announce agreement to buy Brazilian club

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims City Football Group is close to announcing a deal for the purchase of Brazilian club Bahia.

Widely known as the CFG, the football group currently owns significant stakes in football clubs in all of England, Spain, France, Japan, the USA, Uruguay, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, India, and China.

There have been many stories recently about Manchester City’s owners wanting to buy Brazilian club, and now it seems the next club to join their ranks is Bahia.

According to an update from journalist Jorge Nicola as relayed by Sport Witness, the City Football Group is close to announcing the deal for the purchase of Brazilian side, Bahia.

The report claims that ‘everything is signed’, with contracts sorted out, and the pre-agreement should be made official this week.

The report states that when agreeing to the deal, Bahia demanded their kit/club colours should not change. And also that the club’s name should not have radical changes either.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from some Man City supporters.
