There would be a world record use of 'FFP' on social media and by the (incredibly unbiased) TV pundits.
I guess that is gross spending. For net spend we are higher than Spurs, Wolves and Man City on that list. The only EPL clubs with a higher net spend were Chelsea, Man United, West Ham and Forest.
City is always hard to say for sure because they fiddle with numbers, how much the club spends as opposed to how much sponsors are paying to bring in a player. You can be sure City's real net spend is higher.
Haaland is a good example. Given some of the prices paid for players by other clubs, Dortmund could easily have asked for double the amount City have reportedly paid. I don't get that one. It was obvious how good he is, so it seems like a bargain (in current terms).
PSG, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Besiktas, Marseille and Monaco all being fined by EUFA for breaching FFP 'break even' rules. 19 other clubs (including Man City, Chelsea, Leicester & West Ham) told they will be closely monitored.
He had a release clause but there is addons which judging by his current goal scoring antics they will be payable rather quick.
So long as they can prove their net income/outgoings meet the 'break even' rules. So they'll find a way to generate revenue.
