Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has turned to Liverpool again as he reveals how his club’s expenses and sponsorship deals are treated differently from those at Anfield and Manchester United.
Guardiola stepped up his mind in the Premier League match when he said everyone in the country wanted Liverpool to lift the title.
The prickly Spaniard also mocked Liverpool’s Premier League record when he said: “They have an incredible history behind them in European competitions. Not in the Premier League, because they won one in 30 years.
Guardiola has now turned his attention to his club in terms of their transfer fees and lucrative sponsorship agreements.

HIGHEST TRANSFER FEES

Liverpool

City announced on Tuesday that they have reached an agreement in principle to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland for the initial £ 51 million – although the possible fee is expected to be significantly higher.
This is the last high-ranking transfer since City, who broke the transfer record when signing with Jack Greenish for £ 100 million last summer, was bought by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008.
“Listen, Liverpool in the ’70s or’ 80s, or United with Sir Alex Ferguson – who spent more money?” Guardiola told Sky Sports.
“Who spent more money? Was it Norwich? Norwich spent more money during this period?
“Or what other teams… Leicester?” Leicester spent more money than them? No. They spent more money than others. But their money is very different from now.
The club’s relations with sponsors based in the homeland of their owners, Abu Dhabi, have also been closely monitored. City’s agreement with Etihad is estimated to cost £ 67.5 million a year.

Liverpool have a £ 80million deal a year with Standard Chartered, while United signed a five-year £ 235m deal with TeamViewer last March.
“I said I wouldn’t change that.” [perception]”Guardiola added.
“When we put it here.” [on the front of our shirts] Etihad, people say, “Oh, it’s overpaid.” But now United and Liverpool will get maybe more than us, because maybe (it is) deserved, because they are doing well, because the CEO is negotiating well, no matter what happens.
“They also get more because it’s from the United States or another country – or they are the owners – so now it’s perfect.

“So it will not change, it will not change for a long time, this is the reality. The only way we can change is to do well on the field.
City tops Liverpool in the Premier League table by a goal difference and could increase their lead to three points if they beat the Wolves on Moline on Wednesday.
As revealed in the Mail on Sunday, the Premier League has appointed “experts on the subject” for the top-secret three-year judicial investigation of City’s finances, which suggests that the battle for financial fair play between Premier League champions and the authorities is reaching a long final stage.
“Experts on the subject” are witnesses who explain the context of the details of a case, and according to a Premier League legal expert, they would normally be appointed pending indictment, but there is no confirmation from City or the Premier League that they have been charged. for every crime.

In fact, both sides have tried to keep the battle a secret. This was prompted by Der Spiegel’s leaked emails suggesting that City’s commercial data had been overstated by Sheikh Mansour’s Abu Dhabi United Group to circumvent financial fair play rules.
This led to an indictment by UEFA City and a Premier League investigation in March 2019. City was initially banned from the Champions League by UEFA’s Financial Supervisory Authority in February 2020, but this decision was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in July 2020, because much of the evidence is out of time. CAS decided that the case against City had not been identified by emails within the five-year period.
It was the decision of CAS that helped alleviate the fears of the manager Guardiola, after the Catalan sought assurances from the hierarchy of Manchester City about the financial behavior of the club.
