Manchester City and the influence of the sheikhs: How did money influence them to become the owner of the city in a decade?

Dominated from start to finish: Manchester City defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford, in a match corresponding to the 11th round of the Premier League. Guardiola's team won 2-0, with a goal from Eric Bailly and another from Bernardo Silva, who took advantage of a defensive error by Luke Shaw. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo was never able to establish himself as the protagonist and, a prisoner of impotence, he ended up being booked with a yellow card.

If we talk about millionaire investments in football, two clear examples are Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain. Both clubs, which have an infinite wallet in each transfer market, currently have the two most important teams in the world.

According to the Transfermarkt site, the Manchester City squad is currently the most expensive in the world. The value of the entire workforce is 1,006 million euros. Its most expensive player is Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, who is valued at 100 million European currency. The podium is completed by the English Raheem Sterling (90 sticks) and Phil Foden (80). The cheapest, on the other hand, is the Patrick Roberts steering wheel, at two million euros.

But football is not just names, and it means much more than a game. Because if we are going to talk about players, Manchester United also have an incredible squad. However, the influence of the Arab sheiks in the Cityzens, made them one of the most important teams in the world, and owner of their city, for at least a decade.
