Manchester City now have a dozen sibling clubs dotted around the world after their owners completed a 90 percent purchase of Brazilian club Bahia.
City Football Group announced the majority takeover on Thursday, with chief executive Ferran Soriano saying that they would aim to “help” domestic football in Brazil and grow the game financially.
But within hours of that deal being announced, it was revealed that a Belgian club was taking legal action against the country’s federation after accusing another CFG team, Lommel SK, of receiving “foreign subsidies” which they argue is in contravention of European Union law.
