Manchester City Owner Sheikh Mansour Splashes £500 Million On Etihad Stadium Sized Yacht

Manchester City's super-rich owner Sheikh Mansour is purchasing a brand new mega-yacht that would only just fit within the Etihad Stadium, according to a new report.

While fans of the Premier League giants have been enjoying the spending on the pitch, it seems as though it hasn't stopped off it.

City have certainly been busy in the transfer market this summer, signing four new players for Pep Guardiola's side.

The marquee signing has undoubtedly been Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for £51 million, but big spending was also seen on Kalvin Phillips from Leeds United in a £42 million deal.

For Sheikh Mansour, it seems as though he's spending some cash on himself this summer too.

According to an exclusive report from The Sun, Sheikh Mansour has splashed £500 million on his new yacht.

It is claimed that the Manchester City owner will take delivery of the 525ft vessel before the start of the 2022/23 season, and has named it 'Blue' as a tribute to the Premier League champions.
