According to an article on the Yahoo Sports website Sunday, Landon Donovan is being heavily scouted by Barclay's Premier League team Manchester City. City is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. Landon Donovan is one of his top choices for a roster spot on the team.
Donovan would likely make double what he is making playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS. According to Yahoo, his current salary is $2,127,777.78 for the season. Since there is more money in both the EPL and in the pockets of the Sheikh, he would easily be a much wealthier man making that jump.
In doing so, he would join other recent signees such as Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor (who joined from Arsenal), Argentina forward Carlos Tevez (who joined from Man United) and Brazil forward Robinho (who left Real Madrid). Man City is also reportedly about to sign Spanish midfielder David Silva according to the British press.
The transfer fee would like be about $12,000,000 that would be evenly split between the Galaxy and MLS according to Yahoo.
