Man City Break EPL Transfer Record In A Single Window

Manchester City have become the first Premier League team to break the £200m barrier in a single transfer window after Benjamin Mendy’s arrivalat the Etihad means they have so far splashed out £203.8m this summer.

City boss Pep Guardiola is using the summer transfer window to tailor his squad to his liking. The spending started with a £35m deal to sign goalkeeper Ederson from Benfica, and he has been joined at the Etihad Stadium by Bernardo Silva, a £43m recruit from Monaco.

City made Kyle Walker the most expensive defender in history when they agreed a £50m deal with Tottenham. The Cityzens completed what is understood to be a £26.9m deal with Real Madrid for Danilo and on Monday took their dealings this summer past the £200m mark with the £49.2m capture of Benjamin Mendy from Monaco.

As well as their record outlay – no Premier League club had before spent more than £200m in a single window – Guardiola has also rejected reports that Sergio Aguero could leave the club.
