Man City shopping in fear of every Premier League club

Despite 115 allegations of financial fraud, Man City is still spending lavishly in the transfer market, making every other club in the Premier League afraid. Only Liverpool can compete with "Man City" at this time, but they do not have a place in the Club World Cup.

In total, Man City has managed to add four new players to the Club World Cup squad (set to kick off on June 15 in the US, Vietnam time), including Rayan Cherki from Lyon, Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolverhampton, goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea, and most recently, excellent midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan.

These players cost Man City about 150 million USD. If we add up the players bought since the winter transfer window (January 2025), notably Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez, this English "giant" has spent up to 475 million USD (about 12,359 billion VND) in just 6 months of buying players, without any influence or sanctions from the Premier League organizing committee.

Competing with Man City, only Liverpool FC, the reigning Premier League champions, has just bought the two most expensive players under coach Arne Slot, defender Jeremie Frimpong and is about to complete the purchase of midfielder Florian Wirtz (both from Bayer Leverkusen), for a total of nearly 200 million USD.

Among them, Florian Wirtz is the most expensive (about 172.6 million USD), becoming the player with the 3rd most expensive transfer value in the history of world football, after Neymar (255 million USD) and Mbappe (207 million USD).

For Man City, the current additions are part of coach Pep Guardiola's rebuilding project, with the aim of regaining what was lost last season in English football. But first, this strategist has set the ambition for "Man City" to win the Club World Cup, as part of making up for the failure of last season.

That was the season that after many years, "Man City" did not win any official championship title, only the consolation FA Community Shield.

At the Club World Cup, Man City is in Group G, playing the opening match against Wydad AC Club (Morocco) at 11pm on June 18, against Al Ain (UAE) at 8am on June 23, and the final match against strong opponent Juventus at 2am on June 27.
