Man City have just landed ‘incredible’ profit from latest deal – Stefan Borson
Manchester City don’t have any profit and sustainability (PSR) issues after recording some of the lowest operating losses and making significant player-trading profits.
That is the view of former Man City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider the profits the Premier League champions have made from their player sales has been “incredible” over the past couple of years.
Man City sold Cole Palmer to Chelsea for £42.5million last summer, while Riyad Mahrez earned the club £30million and Aymeric Laporte’s move was worth £23.5million as the duo both headed to Saudi Arabia in 2023.
Julian Alvarez has been the big-money sale of this summer for Pep Guardiola’s side after he joined Atletico Madrid in a deal worth up to £81.5million including add-ons.
Man City have no PSR issues after transfer dealings
Borson insisted those deals have ensured Man City have no PSR issues as they continue to drive a hard bargain in the transfer market.
He told Football Insider: “City don’t have any PSR issues because they have some of the lowest operating losses.
“Over the last two or three years, they have also had an incredible level of player-trading profits because they have sold so many young players on top of getting good fees for players that have left like Mahrez, who went to Saudi last year.
“They also sold Cole Palmer last summer for the best part of £45million, so a huge profit there as well, even if the deal now looks like an undervalue.
“There are no issues on PSR for City and the Alvarez deal is another profit for their books.”
