Pep Guardiola believes that Manchester City are unfairly criticised for their transfer spending compared to rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
City have already got the summer transfer window off to an exciting start by confirming they have secured a deal to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. The initial fee for the Norwegian sensation is only £51million, but that rises significantly to around £86million once agents' fees and bonuses are added.
It's another big-money signing for the Blues less than a year on from their £100million acquisition of Jack Grealish last summer, which is a British transfer record. City have also spent significantly in every year of Guardiola's reign, with upwards of a further £770million being spent on his squad.
