' Vincent Tan thinking of buying his 3rd Club and aims to find the next Cristiano Ronaldo '

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan could be ready to expand his Bluebirds empire – after being linked with the takeover of World Cup icon Eusebio’s former club.

Malaysian millionaire Tan has been widely reported as the man behind new investment in Portuguese side Beira-Mar, with an agreement over past debts reached that would pave the way for his involvement and take his football portfolio up to THREE clubs.

The move could see Tan set up of a pathway to ensure Portugal’s top talent heads to South Wales in an attempt for the Bluebirds to try to snap-up the next budding Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tan, who established links with Bosnian side FK Sarajevo last summer before completing a full takeover at Christmas, has already gone on record to state his aims of bringing the best young footballers in the Balkans to Cardiff City Stadium.

City chief executive Simon Lim said at the time investment in their academy was with the aim of producing the next Edin Dzeko for the Bluebirds.

It appears Tan has also turned his attention to Portugal with Beira-Mar – once the home of the famed Portugal striker Eusebio – as he seeks to do something similar in Iberia.

Portugal has supplied some of Europe’s most gifted players down the years, including Eusebio, Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Deco and Nani.

Tan has been linked with Beira-Mar in the past when Cardiff were claimed to be ready to sign the second-tier side’s striker Willyan, something denied by the Bluebirds at the time.

But there were suggestions a link-up between the clubs had been established regardless, with fresh reports claiming Tan’s buy-in could see fringe players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad sent to Beira Mar.

There is nothing in football rules preventing the ownership of more than one club, although Uefa does step in for clubs in the same country or involved in the same competition.

Tan could experience European football for the first time next season after Sarajevo’s Bosnian Cup triumph, but it is clear he is keeping focus on Cardiff’s bid for a second promotion after his loans helped the club to the Premier League two years ago. The City owner has funded a summer spending spree by Solskjaer to sign new players, including Spanish striker Javi Geurra, Manchester United’s Federico Macheda and Reading hit-man Adam Le Fondre.

Tan told a media outlet in Sarjaevo: “Certainly we will learn from our mistakes and refocus our efforts to do everything to return to the Premier League.”

Where did you hear tan wants out ?

Bosnian club - Dzeko, Portuguese club - Ronaldo. What's next an argentine club for the next Messi.

Personally I can see Tan here for yrs to come. He is building a football empire taking on 3 clubs, atleast we will be able to ship the deadwood out on loan no problem. I wish he would just turn us back to blue then he can do what he wants.

The words feeder clubs spring to mind...
Foreign Talent/Work Permits.... All that Jargon.

Premiership has the Money..
But other countries have the bulk of talent.

I can't see him wanting to sell us anytime soon if this is true.

If someone wants out they wouldn't let there manager invest in New players like ole has ,think it's wishful thinking from some on here

I hope he goes to denmark to find the next cornelius

Wez, totally disagree, if we go straight back up, Tan wont loose no where near as much money,than if we stay a championship club.
It will be very interesting what happens next Summer.

Exactly why would I go who is supposed to leave next summer re-invest more money in a team he doesn't want. I think it's always been the case that if a good offer comes in he will sell but it certainly doesn't he wants out any time soon

Shipping the deadwood out on loan may have extra benefits in producing a way of getting rid of players like K. Jones. If no club is after him send him to Bosnia, where I don't think he would be happy and then he may want to terminate his contract by mutual agreement, saving CCFC £45,000 per week.

Will Tan make himself a even bigger tw*t by turning a second clubs coluors to red as they play in yellow and black.

Well done Tan. Again see this as a positive as he is trying to do things for Cardiff city

totally agree, i don't think any one knows what tan will do, but by creating this rumour that tan is leaving in the summer no matter where we finish could lead to a lot of fans giving tan abuse all season, they could think fck it we have nothing to lose he is leaving anyway .......or maybe that is the reason why this rumour has started

Rumours of Tans demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I hate the rebrand with a passion but it seems there is a propaganda campaign to discredit Tan at every turn and suggest he will leave.

Start the rumour, state it will come true way in the future and with a bit of provoking hopefully it comes true.

This news definitely suggests otherwise and doesn't bode well for the conspirators.

Becoming a massive joke adding to his business empire

Also the article is flawed, just because it's a club in Portugal, why does he want to find the next Ronaldo? Poor journalism again

Wayne s and footy nut, spot on

The more clubs the merrier.

He doesn't want out, it's just forum rumours! He said someone could buy him out if they can afford to pay off the debt, but who's going to want to do that?
