  "account": "Manchester City's inflated spending in the transfer market between 2009 and 2018 resulted in significant fees being paid to 46 different clubs across 19 leagues. The majority, just over a quarter, were directed to English top-flight clubs. City signed players from eight Premier League teams, the same number from La Liga, and £13 million went to Championship clubs. However, the impact of this spending varied among the recipient clubs, with some experiencing declines in performance following City's transfers.",
