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."

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."
