Everybody knows that when it comes to transfer dealings, Manchester City have a set way of doing things.
Over the past six years City's director of football Txiki Begeristain — the man in charge of the club's transfer business — has got more things right than he has wrong. A close friend of Pep Guardiola for many years, he and the Blues have earned a reputation of not taking any funny business when conducting negotiations with other clubs.
City will only make agreements on their terms, and if their terms or not met then they walk away — no matter who the player is. It's an admirable strategy that has seen them miss out on targets including Harry Kane, Harry Maguire, Jorginho and Alexis Sanchez over the years, but it is one that has worked out alright; City have won four of the last five Premier League titles, let's not forget.
