Suarez open to Man City move - reports

Luis Suarez is open to a move to Manchester City – according to reports.

The Mirror claim Pep Guardiola has been trying to sign the Barcelona striker for months in a deal that would cost £85m.

One major stumbling block is Suarez’ wife, who will need to be convinced to leave Spain and return to England where the Uruguayan played for Liverpool for three and a half years.

Guardiola has just completed the signing of Spain forward Nolito and is also targeting £40m-rated Leroy Sane from Schalke.

He was linked with Suarez – who is represented by Guardiola’s brother Pere – almost as soon as the former Barca and Bayern manager was confirmed as City’s next boss.

But it is understood that Nolito and Sane are the Catalan’s only attacking targets in his first transfer window at the club.

The report also claims Tony Kroos considers the chance to link up with Guardiola again appealing after working with him at Bayern.

Senior sources at City claim Guardiola has already ruled out any move for the German international this summer – as exclusively revealed by MEN Sport last month.
