Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola will be given £100m to spend if he wants to strengthen his side in January.
The Citizens have experienced a busy summer, with Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Oleksandr Zinchenko leaving the club, while they have made a number of signings
After adding Erling Braut Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips and Sergio Gomez to their squad, City are not expected to make any further additions before the transfer window closes.
However, according to The Sun, Guardiola will be given £100m to spend if he wants to strengthen his side in January.
The report suggests that the Man City boss will be allowed the funds to sign any players that he is impressed by at the World Cup.
City have spent in the region of £104m in the current transfer window, while they have reportedly received nearly £250m in player sales since January.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“Absolutely. If we do sign anyone in January, they will have been scouted along time before the WC starts.”

“I’ve no doubt Pep would have funds released to him should City to need to act. Whether or not it’s the amount mentioned, is debatable. However, the size of our squad is somewhat small in comparison. So one or two injuries (god forbid) could see the need for us to react etc.”
