City Football Group’s Interest in Juma Bah
The City Football Group (CFG) who owns Manchester City really wants to get Juma Bah. Even though Inter Milan and other clubs want him too CFG looks like they’re gonna get him. The money problems Manchester City’s dealing with right now from the charges against them makes everything more complicated. Whatever happens with these charges could mess with what the club can do later on which makes the Bah thing even more important.
