Man City transfer spending spread across 46 clubs

Manchester City’s transfer spending from 2009 to 2018 helped 46 clubs across 19 national league systems, according to BBC Sport analysis. The review follows an independent commission’s finding that City “inflated” its accounts by more than £900 million. City says it will appeal the verdict. Between 2009 and 2018, City spent about £1.2 billion on players and net transfer spending is estimated at roughly £900 million. Premier League clubs received the largest share: City signed from eight Premier League clubs and eight La Liga clubs. Over a quarter of expenditure went to England’s top flight, including around £13 million for two Championship players.
