The Manchester City management had promised Pep Guardiola when he renewed his contract for another 2 years: “We will give you 230 million euros to immediately strengthen the team”.

So they kept their promise and now that the winter transfers in the Premier League have been completed, we find Manchester City (with its many and difficult issues) to be the dominant force in the transfer market.

As always happens in such periods, teams are trying more to correct some of their weaknesses than to make a definitive renewal. That is why in general the money they spend is much less than that of the summer…In fact, several of the 20 teams did not spend a single…pound to acquire a footballer.

On the contrary, the winter transfer window found Manchester City as the big winner, who want to make an impressive counterattack in the second round…

Pep Guardiola’s team spent a lot of money in an attempt to “freshen up” its squad but at the same time to do their best in a season that admittedly seems unrecognizable and out of its depth.

And if in recent years, the Citizens avoided spending large sums in the January transfer window, this time things were different. Approximately 44% of the amount of 444 million euros that all 20 Premier League teams gave was spent by City!

In other words, the Citizens, with the (approximately) 214 million euros they spent, gave almost as much as all the other teams combined.

Omar Marmoush, Abdelkadir Kusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico Gonzalez were acquired in order to... save the year, while Wolves are second on the relevant list, which is fighting for its salvation.
