The club issued a statement announcing the death a few weeks after her son donated £920 000 to fight the virus in his native Spain.
The Premier League champions said Dolors Sala Carrio passed away at the age of 82.
Read the statement: “The Manchester City family are devastated to report the death today [Monday] of Pep’s mom after contracting the Coronavirus”.
“Everyone associated with he club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most destressing time to Pep, his family and all his friends.”
