Man City preparing to spend more after treble

Manchester City are preparing for a high-spending summer to make the most of the funds they have received for winning the treble.

Saturday’s success in the Champions League final against Inter ensured Man City completed the treble after also winning the Premier League and FA Cup this season. Their historic achievement serves as a warning to rivals about how they can dominate.

And Man City could become an even more frightening opponent if they are able to strengthen their squad further this summer with new signings.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the summer transfer budget at the Etihad Stadium this year could be in the region of £300m.

By winning the Premier League, they earned £180m. Champions League glory has added another £110m to their winnings, while their FA Cup victory was worth £4m.

Furthermore, Man City could raise funds by selling players this summer, just like they did last year. The report reminds that Bernardo Silva, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Joao Cancelo could all be sold, while Ilkay Gundogan might leave on a free transfer at the end of his contract.

In turn, Man City might be able to regenerate the squad at Pep Guardiola’s disposal. Areas they are thinking of investing in include centre-back and midfield.

For the former, they are especially keen on RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol as a potential replacement for Laporte. Since they are both left-footed defenders, that would be a like-for-like evolution.
