Manchester City, which was acquired by Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is quickly reborn as the best club in the world. Man City was literally the epitome of the rich club. Manchester City, with Mansour's enormous financial resources, raked in star players with astronomical money. Manchester City have poured in a whopping €2.6 billion over the past 15 years. No club has spent more money on recruitment than Manchester City, except for Chelsea, which spent a whopping €3.1 billion.
Many clubs were embarrassed by Manchester City's huge investment, but it did not have only negative effects. There were many clubs where Manchester City invested and made that much money. On the 10th, Transfer Markt, a transfer site, published an article saying, `Which club has Manchester City spent the highest transfer fee in the past 20 years?'
First place was Aston Villa. Manchester City has spent a whopping 168.5 million euros on Aston Villa alone over the past 20 years. Jack Grealish was a big influence. Manchester City spent 117.5 million euros signing Grealish from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021. This was Manchester City's club record. Unfortunately, Grealish did not live up to expectations.
Second place was Benfica. Manchester City have spent €131.8m signing three from Benfica. In 2020, it acquired Hoobeng Dias from Benfica and invested 71.6 million euros. Díaz made a huge success as the core of Manchester City's defense.
Third place was Atletico Madrid. Five players, including Sergio Aguero and Rodri, spent €121.5 million. The two players are the best players in Manchester City's history, and Manchester City was especially compatible with Atletico Madrid.
Wolfsburg came in fourth with €113 million and Valencia with €108.8 million. Monaco and Dortmund also earned more than 100 million euros from Manchester City.
