Atletico Rubbish Forlan Rumours
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo insists Diego Forlan will not be joining Manchester City.[LNB]The Blues were strongly linked with the Uruguayan striker during the January transfer window and the rumours refuse to go away.[LNB]The Spaniards are unwilling to part with one of their most prized assets, though, especially as uncertainty also surrounds the future of Forlan's strike partner Sergio Aguero.[LNB]City have made it clear that they are prepared to spend big in the pursuit of their top targets, with a record-breaking move for Brazilian star Robinho completed last summer.[LNB]However, their attempts to lure further big names to Eastlands have proved fruitless, with AC Milan ace Kaka rejecting their £100million overtures in January.[LNB]Cerezo believes City's lack of success in the transfer market will persuade Forlan that remaining at Vicente Calderon is in his best interests.[LNB]"I don't think Forlan is keen to go to Manchester City after seeing how Robinho is getting on there," Cerezo said in Marca. [LNB]"They are rumours and more importantly no-one has come to us to speak about the matter."[LNB]Forlan spent two years with City's arch rivals Manchester United between 2002-04, but struggled to get to grips with life in England.[LNB]Having flourished since leaving Old Trafford, it is unlikely that he would actively pursue a move to back to the Premier League.[LNB]
