Manchester City's rebuilding of its playing squad over the past 18 months has leaned heavily on the club's data science operation, according to a BBC Sport report examining the team behind the scenes.

The report describes a database containing information on approximately 650,000 players worldwide, which staff have used to help identify and evaluate potential signings as part of the club's broader recruitment strategy.

Data-driven scouting has become increasingly common across elite football in recent years, with clubs building out analytics departments to work alongside traditional scouting networks. BBC Sport's report frames City's operation as a significant part of how the club has approached squad turnover during this period.

The report does not detail specific transfer targets or individual data points used in decision-making, focusing instead on the scale and role of the database itself within the club's recruitment process.

Manchester City has not issued a separate public statement regarding the specifics of the report.
