The sports director of Barcelona, Deco, seems to point to an excavation in Manchester City during its January 180 million transfer waste.
City brought Omar Marmous, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico González in the winter window in an attempt to strengthen his low performance squad this season.
Pep Guardiola said last month that the positive net expenditure of the club in the last five years has allowed them to release the strings from the bag now and promised a new review of the team in the summer.
And the former Barca Deco star apparently pointed to a chin of vítuelos in the disbursement of the city, since he insisted the Spanish giants, who have had significant financial problems in recent times, did not need to spend that kind of money on their team .
“Manchester City spent more than 200 million euros in January,” Decco said in an interview with Spanish Station TV3.
'We cannot pay it today. But we also need to bring three or four players. They need a renewal (from the squad). We have already done it. We signed three years ago, and the young people have established themselves. '
