And Spaniard Guardiola is keen on Silva's former team-mates in left-back Benjamin Mendy and forward Kylian Mbappe.

But the Mail report that starlet Mbappe's massive £113m price tag means that City will not compete with favourites Real Madrid unless the price comes down.

Silva said after joining City: "Benjamin Mendy is a friend, and if he can play with me, it’s better than against me."

"Mbappe? I don't think even he knows himself. He’s fantastic, if there are 120m Euro offers, wow, I don’t know."

As well as the Monaco players, north London is set to be raided with Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez and Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker also targeted.

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has said it is a "massive year" for the club and is happy to provide the funds after another trophy-less year.

He wants the club to aim to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup, a quadruple which no club has ever done before.

Al Mubarak said in a close-season interview: "You mentioned the Double, no I want to do the Treble, or else let’s go for the Quadruple! Why not?

"We should have that aspiration. I have it, no doubt. Sheikh Mansour drives me for it every day, but you look at the organisation, you see it in Pep’s eyes in everybody within our group."
