Cesc - City move suicidal
Gunners midfielder has no interest in exit

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas feels it would be 'suicidal' for his career if he were to sign for Manchester City.

Backed by the financial muscle of Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG), new City owner Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim recently revealed his ambition to add a number of world-class players to the squad in January.

Fabregas and Liverpool striker Fernando Torres are reportedly among the list of targets, while Al-Fahim went as far as to hint at a £135million bid for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gunners star Fabregas, though, has no intention of leaving Emirates Stadium should City bid for services in the next transfer window as he feels a move to Eastlands would prove detrimental to his career.

The Spain international said in the Telegraph: "It would be suicidal for my career at 21 years of age to move to City. It would make no sense."

Buffon laughs off City link
Keeper doubts cash-rich Premier League club will make an offer

Gianluigi Buffon has dismissed suggestions he could leave Juventus to join Manchester City.

The Abu Dhabi United Group's imminent takeover at City has seen the Premier League club linked with a string of football's biggest names.

City have already splashed out a British transfer record fee to snatch Brazilian striker Robinho from under the noses of Chelsea.

Reports have now claimed that City boss Mark Hughes will be given the funds to launch a £60million bid for Buffon in January.

Buffon is already the world's most expensive keeper after joining Juventus from Parma seven years ago in a £31million deal.

However, the 30-year-old has brushed off rumours he could sign for City in a transfer worth almost double the amount Juventus paid to Parma.

"It's a journalist's fantasy," said Buffon.

"If an offer like that one arrived, I believe Juve would look at the numbers. But I doubt it would ever arrive."

Doubt they'll get any of them to be honest, I mean what world class player is gonna take a step down to Man City !  

City are already getting rejeceted by players even before an offer has been made
