Which clubs did Man City's 'inflated' money flow to in transfer market?
BBC Sport follows the trail of transfer money flowing to other clubs during Manchester City's period of financial rule-breaking.
Between 2009 and 2018, Manchester City transferred money to 46 different clubs across 19 national league systems in the transfer market. The payments varied significantly, with some clubs receiving higher fees than others. Overall, just over a quarter of Manchester City's total transfer outlay was paid to clubs in the English Premier League.
They signed players from eight Premier League clubs, as well as from La Liga. Manchester City's spending power significantly altered the football transfer market, causing prices to rise for other clubs as well. The money spent on transfers by Manchester City between 2009 and 2018 undoubtedly helped the club to become England's most successful.
