Deadline Day may have been quiet but the arrival of Guardiola promises a spree - all the latest Man City transfer news and go
Deadline Day may have been as exciting as a Roy Hodgson press
conference but this summer is set to be the mother of all spending
sprees with the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea all expected to welcome
new managers.
City already know who their new gaffer will be and according to The Sun one of Pep Guardiola's first moves will be to make a bid for Robert Lewandowski. The paper says that the Citizens "are ready for a £75m fight with Real Madrid" over the Polish frontman, currently playing under Guardiola at Bayern Munich.
Of course, much depends on whether Madrid are able to get a Fifa transfer ban, imposed last month and which is supposed to start this month, overturned on appeal. If not City should have a clear run on the marksman.
But The Sun adds that if City have a pretty ambitious Plan B, and says that if they fail in their attempt to lure Lewandowski to the Etihad, then they will "intensify their pursuit" of Lionel Messi.
Guardiola, who coached the Barcelona megastar during his spell in charge at the Camp Nou, will try his utmost to persuade Messi to move, and it's also reported that he will pursue Juventus playmaker Paul Pogba and Bayern's £35m-rated left-back David Alaba this summer.
