London, Jan. 19 : Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has reportedly told the Arab owners of the club to sign Brazilian and A C Milan football star Kaka now or risk missing out on him.

Hughes' missive came as the club's executive chairman Garry Cook and City officials are due to sit down with the Brazilian's father Bosco Leite and AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani in Italy today to firm up their 91 million pound pursuit of Kaka, The Sun reports.

The deal, with wages and add-ons, could still reach as much as 243 million pounds.

Real Madrid have emerged as possible rivals in the chase for the superstar.

London, Dec 9 : Mark Hughes, manager of the Manchester City, is ready to walk out if the club’s Arab owners continue to interfere in team selection and playing tactics.

The Abu Dhabi businessmen have stunned manager Hughes by trying to tell him how to run his side, The Sun reported.

But Sparky made it clear to chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak that he has to be in charge of all team affairs.

The meddling of the Arabg owners centre’s around the playing position of Brazilian Robinho, who has been purchased for 32.5million pounds.

Along with Brazilians Elano and Jo, Robinho has expressed frustration since his shock switch from Real Madrid.
