This won’t happen, but the general public will still accuse City of spending over the odds on Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo, along with Kaka, Pogba, Jorginho and so on. None of these happened, but the lies prevail.
The press talk loud about City spending, and those who don’t actually follow football get the impression that City buy everyone the media say they are interested in.
City might have spent a lot on Grealish, but they have received a lot in sales too, and if you look at net spend, they can probably afford a late bid for a decent goal-poacher, but my guess is that Pep will trust his current squad and wait.
