DBasia.news – Manchester City has just set a new record. They became the first club in football history whose squad broke through one billion euros.
Manchester City has spent more than 1 billion euros to attract players. They are slightly ahead of Paris Saint-Germain who spent 913 million euros in the transfer market so far.
The success of The Citizen to record this record certainly can not be separated from the existence of a prominent investor in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mansour, who acquired the club in 2009 ago. Since then there were almost no players that they couldn’t bring in.
The names of famous high-priced are successfully landed at the Etihad Stadium such as Robinho, Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, etc.
On the other hand, there is a very far comparison on the most expensive and cheapest squad in the Premier League. The City squad is 32 times more expensive than Norwich City. But this comparison in England is still reasonable compared to what happened in the Spanish La Liga and French Ligue 1.
In Spain, Real Madrid which has the most expensive squad is very different from the cheapest team, Real Mallorca. The capital club’s squad is 148 times more expensive. Whereas in Ligue 1, the PSG squad is 114 times more expensive than Nimes.
