Revealed: The players Man City signed using their ‘sham’ £830m payments

Man City spent £1.21bn between 2009 and 2018, with £830m found to have been brought into the club via “sham contracts.”

As detailed in the Telegraph report, and from the Premier League's announcement of the findings from the independent committee that oversaw City's case: "Of the £949.94m City claimed in commercial income from 2009-10 to 2017-18, only £119.25m was legitimate, with the rest coming from the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) which owned the club."
