New Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has set his first three wishes for new recruits to the sporting director Txiki Begiristain. First on the list of specialist are Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
Guardiola insists on attracting Laporte as "citizens" need a lot of strengthening competition in the defense. Moreover, with the arrival of Pep "Etihad" it seems that the City shall be divided by Eliakim Mangala and Martin Demichelis.
Manchester City must prepare nearly 30 million pounds of Laporte and will face serious competition for his signature as he is wanted by Barcelona.
Thiago Alcantara has a contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2017. 26-year-old is very well liked by Guardiola who exactly drew him to "Allianz Arena" from Barcelona. Pep now wants to take with him the youth of Barcelona and Manchester City.
Much easier task seems Manchester City by attracting Gundogan.
