In addition to Premier League champions City, CFG has interests in New York City, Melbourne City, Yokohama F Marinos, Atletico Torque and Girona.Soriano said: “We have some interest in some markets and countries where there is a genuine football passion and opportunities, like China, but also India. So there might be other opportunities in Asia.“With all these developments we have to be patient. We’ve been looking at India for nearly two years now. I’d say this year we’ll end up doing an investment in India.”New York City became Manchester Citys first sister club in 2013, and more investments into other teams are likely to follow. Soriano added: “As we see it now, there is a natural pace of growth that we will follow that takes us to more than seven teams, but not 100 teams.“I cannot see ten years ahead but the group might have two or three teams more. Is this going to change in five years and we’re going to have more? Maybe, (but) I don’t know that.“But to complete the vision that we had six years ago, I think we will have maybe two or three clubs more.”
