Manchester City are keen to take Argentine duo Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi to the Eastlands this summer.

Sulaiman Al Fahim who is part of the Abu Dhabi United Group who own City revealed his desire to have the two Argentine greats at the club.

Speaking to dpa, Fahim said: "I do not know if Maradona will be a good coach. What I believe is that he should be the president of a club and have the right to choose and buy players,

"In Naples he started from scratch and built a great club. He has the power to change a football team."

The Arab businessman went on to hint that Messi is also on the club's radar.

"Messi is a player that makes me love Argentina again, I love it again," he concluded.
