Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is confident the club can keep their star players now that they are regularly challenging for trophies.
English champions Manchester City are the biggest beneficiaries from the $209 million handed out by FIFA to clubs who released players for the 2018 World Cup, the global football body said on Tuesday.
City will receive $5 million, ahead of Real Madrid ($4.81m), Tottenham Hotspur ($4.38m), Barcelona ($4.14m) and Paris St Germain ($3.89m), FIFA said.
They are followed by Chelsea, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and AS Monaco.
