They paid 55 million euros to Ajax for Lisandro Martinez, making him the highest-paid center-back from Argentina.
Man City signed Julian Alvarez.

However, Pep Guardiola believes Alvarez can be a superstar soon. His goal-scoring capability impressed the City boss. Before joining Man City, Julian Alvarez played for River Plate. He has a record of scoring six goals in a single match for River Plate. However, Julian Alvarez will play the upcoming season at Man City.
