Manchester City will aim to sell a big-money signing this summer, and a report has claimed the price they’ll now accept would’ve been among the ‘deals of the century’ 18 months ago, and one club are interested. Man City may have deep pockets, though it cannot be argued Pep Guardiola and his recruitment team haven’t spent their money well in the transfer market.

Mikel Arteta shares Pep…
