City could overtake their Premier League rivals before the summer transfer window closes at the end of August.
Real Madrid recently completed the €100m signing of Aurélien Tchouaméni and vaulted both Barcelona and Juventus into third place.
Manchester United have spent just over €2 billion this century, €300m more than fierce rivals Liverpool.
The Reds, surprisingly, are tied with PSG, who spent ludicrous amounts of money on Mbappe and Neymar.
Bayern Munich have had incredible success since 2000, being crowned Champions League winners on three ocassions, but are only the 15th highest spenders of the century.
Among the clubs that have spent more than the Bavarian giants include Arsenal, Tottenham and AS Roma.
