Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City have confirmed that Pep Guardiola will become their new head coach in the summer and suddenly, the transfer opportunities seem limitless.
Many European football’s best talents would move mountains to play under the current Bayern Munich manager, who may just take several players from Bavaria with him.
After four historic years at Barcelona, where he built one of the greatest club sides of all time, there may even be a number of high-profile players in Catalonia who suddenly realise the charms of east Manchester.
With three La Ligas, two Bundesligas, two Champions League titles, three Club World Cup wins and a peerless reputation all attached to his name, who could Guardiola convince to join him at the Etihad?
Check out our gallery below to see who might now end up at Manchester City...
How likely is he to persuade these players to join him? Are there other top names who we should expect to walk through the door? Let us know in the comments.
