Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola planning stunning £148million double swoop for Toni Kroos and Luis Suarez
Blues aim to get Real Madrid and Barca stars and not be overshadowed by Man United signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic
MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola has an audacious £148million plan to outdo Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s arrival at Manchester United.
Guardiola is planning a stunning move to get Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos and Barcelona’s Luis Suarez to the Etihad.
German midfielder Kroos has a £63million release clause, while former Liverpool ace Suarez has always been linked with Guardiola as his brother, Pere, is the Uruguayan striker’s agent.
To get Suarez back in the Premier League would cost City around £85million, £20m more than the Spanish champions paid for him in 2014.
Guardiola has already worked with Kroos, 26, having spent a year with him at Bayern Munich before he was sold to Real in 2014.
He still has four years left to run on his contract at the Bernabeu but Guardiola is keen to get his man.
Guardiola is big admirer of Suarez and has reportedly been trying to persuade him to come back to England for months.
The 29-year-old hit-man is understood to be open to the move but the his wife loves living in Spain.
City have made three signings this summer so far, with Spanish striker Nolito , German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Australian midfielder Aaron Mooy all arriving.
