Man City stars want to party on world's most expensive yacht - it's owned by Sheikh Mansour

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour owns the world's most expensive superyacht - and Pep Guardiola's treble-winners are desperate to party on it.

The yacht, which set the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates back £500 million in July, is a 525ft vessel which costs an insane £500,000 to fill it with fuel.

It is the fourth-largest yacht in the world, with 40 cabins and staterooms for 48 guests, a swimming platform, nightclub and two helipads.

What's more, there's a sauna, gym, deck jacuzzi and amenities like wifi and air conditioning - as well as a lift to move around the different floors.

The mega boat, which would only just fit inside the Etihad Stadium, has been named 'Blue' by Mansour as a nod to the club he owns.

A crew of 80 is required to fully operate proceedings on the yacht, which was more than twice as expensive as the initial sum paid to buy City back in 2008.

And City stars like Jack Grealish, Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland are desperate to experience the yacht - though they might not quite be able to replicate their treble celebrations.

Still, it could well happen later this year as the Blues will be nearby in Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup.

City will be representing Europe in their first ever appearance in the tournament after finally winning the Champions League courtesy of a win over Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul.

"His boat was the talk of the dressing room when he took delivery of it and they hope to get an invite when the team visits Saudi Arabia in December for the Club World Cup," a source told the Daily Star.

"Abu Dhabi isn’t too far away and is expected to be moored up when the owner or his family come to watch.”

Mansour has only ever attended two City fixtures in the flesh - the first being a 3-0 win over Liverpool at the Etihad in 2010 and the second coming in Istanbul as his team were crowned champions of Europe.
