The Manchester City has done official recently the signing of Aymeric Laporte by 65 million euros. The strong investment made by the British team between the signings of summer and the one of the central French, closed in this month of January, has raised critical by the disproportionate cost of the 'cityzens' during the last months.

However, Pep Guardiola has defended to his club of the criticisms launching what seemed a dart to the FC Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain. "I understand the criticisms. The good players are expensive. There are teams that spend this money in two players, we have done it in six", said the technician of Sampedor.

It is necessary to remember that the FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have surpassed a cost of 300 million euros in two players in the present season. In the case of the Barcelona, in Ousmane Dembélé and Philippe Coutinho; in the case of the Parisians, in Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. Something that does that the statements of Guardiola earn form of indictment.

Necessary signings for the Manchester City

Pep Guardiola followed his speech explaining that the signings were very necessary for the team. "Seven players finish agreement, were greater of 30 years. We had to fichar players because our four or five defences went . We had to spend, it was necessary", matizó the technician.

"Some day, if the club considers it, will spend us more than 100. Up to now it has not been like this, the most expensive has been Laporte. What is sure is that now in summer ficharemos one or two and the market will finish . Laporte Went it to do in summer but at the end have done it now", sentenced Guardiola.
