Pep Guardiola plots double Barcelona raid?

Pep Guardiola is reportedly hoping to add Sergio Busquets and Neymar to the Manchester City squad in the summer.

Incoming Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has reportedly made two players from his former club Barcelona his main transfer targets.

It is widely expected that there will be a number of new arrivals at the Etihad Stadium in the summer when current Bayern Munich head coach Guardiola replaces Manuel Pellegrini in the dugout.

According to the Daily Mail, the Spanish boss is particularly keen to secure the services of Sergio Busquets.

The 27-year-old was given his senior Barca debut by Guardiola in 2008, with the pair having also worked together in the B team.

The other player said to be on Guardiola's radar is Neymar, who joined the Catalans after the new City manager had departed Camp Nou.

It is believed that the Citizens would have to fork out around £150m to stand any chance of landing the duo.
