With 210 million euros spent, Manchester City exploded the meters this winter, from Abdukhodir Khusanov to Nico Gonzalez. An unusual winter presence for the Cityzens, who had no longer made a significant movement in winter since Aymeric Laporte in 2018. In a press conference, Pep Guardiola was questioned about these recruitments, which could be made in anticipation of sanctions around -Min financial, which would prevent the club from recruiting in the coming months. “I do not agree, but my words will not convince people that our qualities are not just about the amount of money that we spend”said the Spanish manager.

The former Barça and Bayern coach justified his expenses by the resurgence of injuries that the club faces. “In the past five years, we have been the last Top Six team in terms of net spending. Even after what we spent during this transfer window, we are far from Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham. Even Liverpool “continued Pep Guardiola, regretting that when we talk about Manchester City. “We always simply talk about a question of money.”
