Now we take a look at Manchester City players contracts and salaries.
Manchester City has spent huge money in 2016 and 2017 summer transfer windows and they picked up Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao for record 59 million back in January 2019. As Manchester is heading for the new season they has already added another top ranked footballer Riyad Mahrez for around 61.02 million but this purchase might increase to 75 million if all demands are meet.
