On this note, Benfica confirms the transfer of Ruben Dias, 68m plus bonuses.
By my math that puts City at roughly 480,000,000 spent on JUST defenders since Pep has arrived.
To put that into perspective:
Only 43 clubs have spent more than 480,000,000 in their entire HISTORY. From ~1870-2021, just 43 clubs have spent more than that sum, ever.
If you ranked clubs by all-time transfer spending, it would go:
40. Fulham, 542.2m
41. Genoa, 542m
42. Sampdoria, 496m
43. Middlesbrough, 480.1m
44. Manchester City Defenders from 2017-2021, 480m
45. Ajax, 473m
46. Fenerbahce, 450m
47. Schalke, 441m
48. Rennes, 406m
49. West Brom, 402m
50. Betis, 399m
This probably got lost during the pool arsenal match, but bringing it back just to say there's absolutely no way city broke FFP. zero percent chance anything shady happened with their books. This is a very reasonable amount of money spent on defenders in 5 years
Zizou is electing to make Mayoral his second striker and not Jovic, Joic could be gone before window closes. RIP Jovic FC? (loan possibility)
We'll take him on loan as a CF/ST backup easy. RM never made sense for him. He'll probably flourish in our system
why go from riding the pine for one team to another? Dude needs to play
