City dominating transfer market - Mourinho
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has admitted Manchester City are "dominant in the market" after outbidding the Spanish giants to sign Serbia full-back Aleksander Kolarov.
Kolarov joined City last month for £16million as part of another remarkable summer of team strengthening which has seen their Middle East owners plough more than £100m into the club.
And Mourinho, who joined Madrid after leading Inter Milan to a domestic and European treble last season, concedes even they can't compete.
"I understand that if someone wants to compete with them for a player it is very difficult, they are dominant in the market," he told Sky Sports News.
"The player they say they want is the player they get. I was interested in Kolarov when I came here but I couldn't compete with them as they went to values that I couldn't.
"If they have the money they can do it, if they have the ambition to win the Premier League they can do it."
