Guardiola puts the 4 dearest shots of the English repair market in line. Gunners needed an attacker, and he didn’t arrive
Almost 450 million euros spent, four times more than last January. And a team, Manchester City, who alone invested just under what the other 19 put together have done. It is the premier market, beauty, the one around which the rest of Europe continues to rotate. This time Italy, France, Germany and Spain together spent more than the English championship, but it is what the premier teams did that dictated the law in the rest of the continent. From January a clear winner comes out, the City Champion in charge: starting the restyling was necessary, but the 210 million euros invested for four purchases (the last, Nico Gonzalez, was announced on the gong) are more than it had been spent in the 8 months of January previous under Pep Guardiola and the second highest figure ever for a premier club in January after the 330 million of Chelsea in 2023. The City is not the only winner of the market like Arsenal, albeit Having not moved, he is not the only loser.
