Pep Guardiola has hit out at critics of Manchester City’s heavy spending and says it shows their owners want to invest in the club rather than take money out.
Champions City begin the new season at Spurs on Sunday having landed Jack Grealish for a record £100million with an even bigger offer ready for Harry Kane.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has commented on City and Chelsea’s budgets compared to his own, complaining: ‘We are allowed to spend the money we earn... they obviously don’t have any limits.’
The Liverpool boss had called Manchester City's summer transfer business as 'no limits'
The remarks irked Guardiola, who fired back that providing City stay within Financial Fair Play rules, the owners can spend what they choose on players rather than keeping it for themselves.
