I doubt anyone is fooled by City and everyone knows the only reason they are where they are is due to backing by an oil rich state with terrible track record in human rights.
The reason City is more bearable is pretty obvious. City are going to be winning the title most years anyway, but if he goes to one of the others they are going to be competing as well for titles. That's even without the obvious hate for some of the other clubs.
He wont be going to others. Its PSG or Man C, or staying at Spurs
