Pep Guardiola has splashed out more than £200 million refreshing his squad this summer and still hopes to bring in two more new faces before the transfer window closes. But the Manchester City boss also needs to make room in his squad for any new arrivals and recuperate some cash from a close season of heavy spending.
So far, City have already raked in more than £40m from the sales of Enes Unal, Aaron Mooy, Nolito, Aleksandar Kolarov and Olivier Ntcham, with Kelechi Iheanacho also set to leave in a £25m deal to Leicester City. And the club has made a hefty saving to its salary bill by allowing several senior players like Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta to leave on free transfers when their contracts expired.
