According to major Uruguayan source Ovacion, the club City are looking to buy are called Atletico Torque, who were founded in 2007.

The report states that a European business group made up of advisors from Manchester City have been working alongside Torque to negotiate a takeover deal. A sports complex has been planned to be built for the senior squad of Torque, as well as the youth team.
