Manchester City Spend Big On Defenders

FootyBiteSeptember 29, 2020

MANCHESTER: Pep Guardiola remains calm to spend around £ 390 million to get a defender alone.

Benfica central Portugal midfielder Ruben Dias is expected to be in Manchester to complete a £ 64.5 million move.

The Portuguese club announced yesterday that all matters had been agreed and were only awaiting medical reports and personal conditions.

Part of the deal will involve Nicolas Otamendi instead going to the club with a total of £ 13.7 million agreed by both clubs.

The change will see City have to spend another £ 50 million to win the Premier League title.

And that weakness was shown yesterday when he lost to Leicester and Dias will be one of them.

More than £ 105 million has been spent on two central defenses this summer – Dias and Nathan Ake.

Spending a lot of money to get a central defense is common in City as well as Guardiola.

Former manager Manuel Pellegrini spent over £ 30 million each to get Otamendi and Eliaquim Mangala.
