“I’m sorry but it’s not true. The information is not right. Neymar is an incredible player and the info I have is that he’s an incredibly nice guy. But it’s not right. Every summer Manchester City are going to buy 150 players.” Guardiola said as quoted by Mirror.

Guardiola on the other hand has augmented his attack with the purchase of precocious Norwegian centre forward Erling-Braut Haaland and Julian Alvarez following the departures of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.

The Spaniard is currently in the United States with his team as he steps up preparations for the upcoming season with his eyes set on the elusive UEFA Champions League.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that new reports have now emerged that Manchester City were offered the chance to sign Neymar. Neymar's situation at Paris Saint-Germain has been uncertain, with reports linking him with a move away.

The Brazilian's huge wages have prevented clubs from outrightly declaring an interest. PSG is said to have approached Manchester City to discuss a possible deal.

Le Parisien reports that the Ligue One champions want Bernardo Silva to be included in the deal City flatly refused the proposal.
