Guardiola ready to lure 2015 Bayern Munich signing to Man City
Posted Saturday, February 20, 2016 by Footballfancast.com
Pep Guardiola is eager to entice Douglas Costa to Manchester City from Bayern Munich this summer when he takes over at the Etihad Stadium, according to reports from Globo Esporte.
The Spanish tactician will officially succeed Manuel Pellegrini at the Citizens’ dugout at the end of the season with the club having confirmed the deal will go ahead earlier this month.
And reports claim that the Bayern boss is keen to bring Costa with him, despite having only signed the Brazilian last year.
The 25-year-old joined the Bavarians from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal worth just over £23m, and has been a huge hit at the Allianz Arena.
It’s understood that Guardiola has been so impressed with the attacking midfielder that he’s now desperate to continue working with him at City, and is hopeful that the financial muscle of his new employers will allow a deal to go ahead.
