Manchester City have spent an astonishing €378 million on three new midfielders during the summer transfer window. The club began by signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for around €135 million, making him one of the most expensive players in Premier League history. Next, they brought in 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille for a massive €95 million transfer fee, setting a new record for the most expensive teenage signing in the league.
Finally, Manchester City completed the biggest deal of the summer by signing Argentine international Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for approximately €148 million. This makes the total cost of their three major midfield additions this summer €378 million, not including the potential €5 million in add-ons attached to Bouaddi's transfer.
The investment comes after City lost Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Tijjani Reijnders this summer, prompting a complete reshaping of their midfield.
