Pep Guardiola denied that Manchester City’s January recruitment campaign was due to attention within the club, and they could be hit by the transfer embargo.
Manchester City spent £175 million ($217 million) Omar Marmoush,,,,, Abdukodir Khusanov,,,,, Vitor Reis and Nico Gonzalez In the January window – more than any other Premier League side. This goes against their usual cautious attitude in winter windows, which makes them decide not to make a major season signing aymeric laserArrived from Athletic Bilbao in January 2018.
Guardiola insisted that January spending was due to injury issues that affected his team in the first half. However, there is no stop to speculation that Manchester City chooses to bring many new players because of concern that if convicted of violating Premier League financial rules, the transfer embargo could be one of the punishments.
“I don’t agree, but my words won’t convince people that our attributes are just in a wealthy position,” Guardiola said in a press conference on Friday.
“We have been the last team in the top six in net spending over the past five years.
“Even if we spend anything in this transfer window, we left Chelsea, [Manchester] Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham. Even from Liverpool. The only reason is because we have sold a lot of things over the past season, but even though I know this club, it’s always “almost money”.
The hearing on 115 charges suspected of violating Premier League financial rules in New York City began in September and ended in December.
If convicted, the punishment may be deducted from the fine to the point. Guardiola said he believes the verdict will be made in “one month.”
“In a month, I think there will be a verdict and a sentence, and then we will see my opinion on what has happened so far,” he said.
“In the end, though, every club can do what they want. Because in the past decade, we’ve been the third [for net-spend]but in the last five, we were laggards on the top six teams even though we won, so I’m sorry for the comments, which is why I disagree. ”
Meanwhile, Guardiola says he doesn’t plan to have Pole Use again until next season. The midfielder has been out of the game with a knee injury since September but has been included in Manchester City’s Champions League knockout match.
“I’d love to reach the late stages of the Champions League, where Rodri can help us, but in my opinion, Rodri is next season.”
“Maybe he’s back soon, and that’s good for us.”
