Manchester City’s current squad was recruited at a cost of £926 million, making it the most valuable in Europe, but arch rivals Man United are rapidly closing the gap.
The average cost of each player in the City squad equates to an eye-watering £37m, boosted by the £100m acquisition of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa this summer.
City's extraordinary investment was seen on the opening day of the season, when Pep Guardiola’s side lined up at Tottenham Hotspur with the most expensive starting eleven ever to grace the Premier League.
