Man City set for £100m spree after Liverpool defeat
Manchester City are preparing to spend big again to ensure the club remain among Europe’s elite.
Sportsmail understands the club’s top brass will flex their financial muscle to ensure the squad does not decline, with City trailing Liverpool by nine points as they try to win a third consecutive title.
City will also target a number of contract re-negotiations over the coming months to ensure Pep Guardiola’s squad remains intact.
City will target a new central defender to replace former captain Vincent Kompany, who left at the end of last season, with replacements also needed for David Silva, due to to leave next summer, and Sergio Aguero in the not too distant future. Both deals would likely cost City a total of at least £100million.
Guardiola’s future has also been under scrutiny, particularly after his wife Cristina returned to Spain earlier this year.
