£12million striker set to reject Manchester City

Diego Forlan is set to snub a move to Manchester City Football Club.
The Blues have been linked with a £12million bid for the Atletico Madrid striker, but the president of the Spanish club insists no contact has been made.
More worryingly for the Eastlands club, he also claims the former Manchester United man may be reluctant to move having seen how Robinho has struggled of late.
Although the Brazilian has had an impressive season in front of goal, he has been out of form in recent weeks sparking rumours he could be dropped by Mark Hughes.
"I don't think Forlan is keen to go to Manchester City after seeing how Robinho is getting on there," Enrique Cerezo said in Marca. “No-one has come to us to speak about the matter."
