Revealed: How much Pep Guardiola will be given in Man City January transfer war chest

Premier League

Manchester City

Manchester United

The reigning Premier League champions were surprisingly quiet over the summer, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-manchester-city-transfers-2024-25/bltb6cbccbb8fdf57ae" target="_blank">Savinho – a player already part of the City Football Group – the only signing</a> made where a fee changed hands. Former captain Ilkay Gundogan returned to the Etihad Stadium as a free agent after leaving Barcelona.

WHAT HAPPENED?

City are still waiting to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/doomsday-premier-league-expulsion-30-point-deduction-threats-man-city-title-winners-115-ffp-charges/blt69cd0dd3870c94ec" target="_blank">discover their fate in a long-running Financial Fair Play case</a> – while opening their own legal wrangle with the Premier League – but are prepared to splash more cash if head coach Guardiola feels additions are required.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

According to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30319012/man-city-pep-guardiola-transfer-wirtz-musiala/ " target="_blank">The Sun</a>, the Catalan coach will be given a nine-figure sum to work with in the new year if City believe that reinforcements will keep them in contention for more major honours. That budget was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-jackpot-julian-alvarez-club-record-fee-atletico-madrid-pep-guardiola-squad-rebuild/bltadbf62495e5298fd" target="_blank">boosted by summer sales of Julian Alvarez</a>, Joao Cancelo and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

DID YOU KNOW?

City are said to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/Man-City-Florian-Wirtz-transfer-Mahrez/blt3208fa23b6c929fe" target="_blank">have Bayer Leverkusen starlet Florian Wirtz</a> and fellow 21-year-old playmaker, Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich, on their long-term wish list – with it unlikely that deals for either of the Germany internationals could be completed midway through any given campaign.
