Since the inaugural 1992-93 Premier League season, fees for players has significantly risen, with the current transfer record in the competition sitting at £100m.
The fee was paid by Manchester City last campaign when they signed Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola takes responsibility for the signing, with the Catalan set to add spending when Erling Haaland arrives at the Etihad this summer.
The Sky Blues have agreed to sign the 21-year-old from Borussia Dortmund in July, with Guardiola activating the forward’s £51.1m release clause.
City’s boss, with the signing of Haaland, has now spent just under £1bn while in charge of the club, a staggering figure considering he took charge in 2016.
With that being said, we take a look at where Guardiola ranks amongst the highest spending Premier League managers in history, according to stats from Transfermarkt.
