Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to get £200m summer budget?

Manchester City will reportedly give manager Pep Guardiola a transfer budget of £200m for the summer window.

Manchester City have reportedly decided to give Pep Guardiola another £200m to further strengthen his first-team squad.

Since arriving at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, Guardiola has already spent over £400m and the Spaniard indicated last year that he would not be as active in the upcoming transfer windows.

However, according to The Mirror, the newly-crowned Premier League champions are set to pay big fees in order to bring in at least three more players before the start of the next campaign.

The report claims that Guardiola wants to sign a new central defender, holding midfielder and attacking player, and a whole host of names are on the City boss's shortlist.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld could allegedly make the switch to the Etihad Stadium, while Shakhtar Donetsk's Fred and Napoli's Jorginho are options in the middle of the park.

Riyad Mahrez and Thomas Lemar - of Leicester City and Monaco respectively - are being considered in the final third.
