  "account": "Manchester City's new signings are eager to win, according to the club's new captain Ruben Dias. The team has spent a Premier League record £458m on new players during the summer transfer window, including midfield trio Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. However, the club also recouped more than £300m in sales, losing experienced players like Rodri, Bernardo Silva and John Stones. Dias, who joined City from Benfica for £65m in 2020, has been handed the captaincy by new manager Enzo Maresca. Dias says that while many experienced players have left, the new signings are \"desperate to win\" and that the mix of ambition and experience is what makes the club keep going. With the club starting the season with four straight victories in the Premier League and Champions League, Dias believes that Maresca is the \"perfect person\" to lead the team, as he \"knew the house so well.\"",
  "summary": "Manchester City have brought in summer signings who are \"desperate to win\" and the whole squad is \"buying into the idea\" of new manager Enzo Maresca, says new captain Ruben Dias.",
