Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Esporte Clube Bahia and the City Football Group are now close to a deal.
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 a Brazilian club, and following months of rumours, it seems Manchester City are finally about to have a partner club in Brazil.
According to Brazilian journalist Marcus Alves, all paperwork between Esporte Clube Bahia and the City Football Group has now finally been finalised, with an announcement confirming the purchase of the Brazilian club set to take place this week.
The purchase, however, still needs to be approved by a vote from the council board and the fans before being completed. Journalist Jorge Nicola says the first vote is being scheduled for the 30th of September.
Bahia are expected to have an important part in the City Group. It’s said the owners believe Brazil is the biggest talent producer in the world and that will work as a way to distribute players between Manchester City and the other partner clubs.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from some Man City supporters.

“City are gonna have a club in every league at this point. It massively widens their scouting profile and allows each team to thrive with player sharing at all levels. This is a revolution in football and no team will be able to compete soon.”
