Manchester City was a mid-table club and didn’t achieve much success in the past decades. However, after Sheikh Mansour took over the club in 2011, Manchester City have become of the best teams in the Premier League. The Pep Guardiola led team has won 4 out of the last 5 Premier League trophies.
Manchester City usually spends big sums on the players they want to buy, as they are backed by wealthy club owners. However, this hasn’t changed the fact that City has also earned around £700-750 million in player sales.
City have signed Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and others this summer but they have also sold Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus and Sterling this summer. These departures rank among their most expensive sales of all time.
