According to renowned journalist Ji Yuanyang, Manchester City’s Argentine international Julian Alvarez is set to join Atlético Madrid. This deal marks a near certainty, signifying that Man City, having already surpassed €100 million in transfer revenue in both the previous and current summer windows, is strongly positioned to achieve the same this summer by capitalizing on player sales.
The journalist highlighted that during the 2022 summer transfer window, Manchester City’s revenue from player sales had already exceeded €160 million.
Sterling, €56.2 million to Chelsea; Jesus, €52.2 million to Arsenal; Zinchenko, €35 million to Arsenal.
The journalist further noted that despite selling players, their performance hasn’t been affected. In the subsequent season, Manchester City achieved a treble.
Last summer, Man City continued their selling spree, generating €176 million in transfer income. This marked the second consecutive season where their transfer revenue surpassed €100 million. Adding the €57.06 million from youth academy transfers, the club’s total transfer income over the past two years reached €395 million.
Palmer’s transfer to Chelsea last summer generated €49.66 million for Man City. Mahrez’s departure to Al-Nassr brought in €35 million, while Laporte’s move to Al-Nassr yielded €27.5 million. Lastly, Herrera’s transfer to Girona generated €5 million. This truly exemplifies sustainable professional football.
The journalist concluded by highlighting the stark contrast between Manchester City and Manchester United. While Man City has primarily operated as a seller in the transfer market, Manchester United has primarily been a buyer. According to statistics from last year, Man City’s transfer market revenue over the past decade has surpassed £1 billion, whereas Manchester United’s revenue has been less than half of Man City’s.
