Ferran Soriano

MUMBAI: After "looking at India" for nearly two years now, City Football Group, the holding company that owns Manchester City, will invest in an Indian club this year, CFG chief executive Ferran Soriano has confirmed.

Aside from the Premier League title holders, CFG also owns parts of clubs in the United States, Australia, Japan, Spain, Uruguay and China.

The group bought a share in Chinese team Sichuan Jiuniu just two weeks ago, and Soriano says they are now set to invest in India, Sky Sports reports.
