Diego Forlan could return to the Premier League next season

If Manchester City are looking for someone who can compete with Robinho in terms of inconsistency, they may have found their man.

The Citizens are reported to be targeting Diego Forlan, who has banged in nineteen goals for Ateltico Madrid this season - almost twice his tally in two-and-a-half years at Manchester Utd.

Ateltico Madrid are said to be ready to ‘cash in’ on Forlan at the end of the season if someone offers the right price, and have already received interest from Tottenham and Sunderland.

The Uruguayan striker’s agent Daniel Bolotnikoff told Sky Sports:

“I have received calls from big European clubs requesting information about the situation, but I am not authorised to give their names.

“Forlan could have a big role in England.”

Spoiler bonus: We find it impossible to write a post about Diego Forlan without including video of the greatest moment in his career…

Serbian is sticking with the rain and “joyless fans” of Manchester

Nemanja Vidic has made no secret of his opinions concerning dirty smelly rainy miserable Manchester, but rumours of a summer switch to slightly-less-rainy Milan are a load of crap, according to his agent.

When asked about the reported £20m transfer, Silvano Martina told Goal.com:

“No way, this is just some crazy rubbish”

“I have already spoken with the journalist who wrote the article and explained that there is no truth in this report.

“Vidic loves it in Manchester and will stay put.”

It looks as if Milan will have to look elsewhere to bolster their defence for 2009/10, as Alessandro Nesta and 412-year-old captain Paolo Maldini look set to call it a day.
