In a press conference on Friday, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, defended the club’s substantial spending on transfers.
For many years, Manchester City has often been criticized by its competitors for its astronomical expenditures during each transfer window. Indeed, the Manchester-based club is owned by the Emirates, which undeniably possesses considerable financial power. However, during a press conference on Friday, Pep Guardiola, the manager of the Sky Blues, came to the defense of his club.
“Everyone spends, everyone! Here, in Spain, and everywhere! A lot, not just Manchester City. They can do what they want. As long as our finances are correct, as UEFA has proven, and now we’re waiting for the Premier League to see what they’ll decide. Manchester City isn’t the only one spending a lot of money. It seems, apparently, in recent years…” explained the Spanish tactician.
Pep Guardiola emphasizes that the club is committed to making astute investments in talented players and developing a long-term recruitment strategy. Guardiola also highlights the importance of financial balance and adhering to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules. He asserts that Manchester City’s expenditures are justified within the framework of the club’s growth and ambition to achieve its sporting objectives.
