Pep Guardiola wants Barcelona superstar Neymar as his marquee signing at Manchester City this summer.

With Lionel Messi considered unrealistic – partly due to his strained relationship with Guardiola towards the end of his time at the Nou Camp – attention has turned to Neymar, who would end up becoming the world's first £100million footballer.

Guardiola was the first figure at Barcelona to spot Neymar's potential as an emerging player in Brazil, even though the striker's protracted £49m move to La Liga was only completed after the manager had agreed to take over at Bayern Munich.
