Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano believes his club and Liverpool are in a similar financial bracket.
City edged out the Reds in the race for the Premier League title on Sunday, producing a stirring comeback from two goals down against Aston Villa to win 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Substitute Ilkay Gundogan came off the bench to score twice, in an indication to the strength in depth City have at their disposal. They also left last summer's £100 million signing Jack Grealish on the bench throughout the contest.
