Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Ferguson: Which manager has spent the most in Premier League history?
Manchester City are set to complete the signing of Erling Haaland.
The Citizens announced they had agreed a fee [believed to be £51.1m, per Sky Sports] with Dortmund for the Norwegian star.
He will sign for the club after personal terms are completed.
That takes Pep Guardiola’s spending at City to just under £1 billion, per Transfermarkt.
That’s an incredible amount for a manager that has only been in the Premier League since 2016.
But how does his spending compare to other managers to have managed in England’s top tier?
