City splashed the cash this summer on new recruits and were the Premier League’s biggest spenders with an outlay of £217million.
Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy, Danilo, Ederson, Bernardo Silva and Douglas Luiz were all drafted in by Pep Guardiola to improve on last year’s disappointment of not lifting a trophy.
And the new-look City have begun the new season in near perfect form with their only slight blip coming in a 1-1 draw with Everton.
But Fernandinho believes, although they have the capabilities to spend big on a superstar like Messi or Ronaldo, the project at City is much more than the size of their budget.
“Could we sign Messi or Ronaldo? I guess so, but then you have to consider the club’s priorities first,” Fernandinho told Goal.

“We have the financial power, everyone knows that, but there’s the priority issue that must be considered.
“Are we aiming to sign one player or to assemble a strong, competitive team to achieve our goals? Sometimes people mistake some things regarding that, thinking just one player would make up for the needs of an entire club. Maybe it’s not supposed to be like that.
“City have been working throughout the years to mount competitive teams and pursue titles.
“Of course, the club made some big and strong investments in the beginning, with top-level and well-known players, but the project itself is based on having a strong team, on developing a top academy structure to reveal new players.
“The City project is much more than about signing a single player with a strong name, that would eventually cost a lot more.”
