Unlike PSG, Guardiola’s Manchester City are not blamed for the millions they have spent and the money lost. Perhaps because unlike the French club, there is a project and the contracts that are carried out follow a line and not the lurches that occur in Paris. But what is indisputable is that City is one of the most important economic players in European football and its qualitative leap to the top of the elitee is due to the generous investment, without having to render accounts, that has been made in recent yearss.
Pep Guardiola left Bayern and went to City in the summer of 2016 and he is enduring on the English bench much longer than expected, since the Barça coach usually detects when the cycle is ending. That has not happened in the English entity, perhaps because the cycle has not ended: the money invested helps to regenerate the squad.
From that summer of 2016 until now, Manchester City is, according to Transfermartk, the fourth club in spending on transfers, with 1,170 million euros invested to build a team that reaches the last phases of the Champions League. He has been a finalist, semifinalist, but so far, the money has not been enough to win the competition.
The expense is important and definitive, but what marks the type of club that City is is the final balance between income and expenses on transfers.
The devastating figure of money spent by the City of Guardiola
Y therethe figure is devastating: -666.69 million euros City loses in contracts and transfers, the third behind Manchester United and a Chelsea that this course has lost its head. In other words, you can sign without having to think about what you sell or how you sell because your sources of income cover, without problem, what is lost in the signings.
He Real Madrid It does not appear on that list of teams that have lost money in the balance of signings and transfers since 2016, the year that Guardiola began at City. The white club, from that date until today, It has a balance of 10 million euros in favor and (which is already devastating) three European Cups, for none of Guardiola’s City.
Uncontrolled spending is suspect, which is why, since 2019, they have been investigated by the Premier League for more than a hundred financial irregularities. According to the Premier, City did not give “true information” about its sponsorship income, for which it has already received a sanction from UEFA that the TAS left in a fine.
City, according to Efe, has agreements with a dozen companies in the United Arab Emirates, such as Etihad Airways, for example, a practice that the Premier League already tried to stop when itl Newcastle United was bought by Saudi Arabia, because it can lead to an unfair form of financing in relation to the rest of the clubs.
