After completing the transfer of goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley for £27m this summer, Guardiola will become the first manager in history to spend more than €2bn.
Guardiola's most expensive purchase was Jack Grealish at Man City (117 million euros). The remaining four contracts in the top 5 are also Man City players, including Josko Gvardiol, Omar Marmoush, Ruben Dias and Rodri. The seemingly limitless financial resources from the UAE allow Guardiola to freely upgrade his squad and perfect the Man City machine.
Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone is second on the list with 1.31 billion euros. The gap between the Argentine coach and Guardiola is more than 700 million euros. Following the two strategists are Massimiliano Allegri (1.2 billion euros), Thomas Tuchel (1.19 billion euros) and Antonio Conte (1.16 billion euros).
Since starting his coaching career at Barcelona, Guardiola has always been known for his controlling, attacking and effective style of football. In order to build dream teams to serve his philosophy, he has not hesitated to spend money to recruit expensive and world- class players.
At Man City, Guardiola also reached the pinnacle of glory when he won the treble of titles in the 2022/23 season, including the Champions League title for the first time in the club's history. In the last 5 seasons in the Premier League, the blue half of Manchester also won the title 4 times.
