5 players on Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's radar this summer

Manchester City v Chelsea - Premier League
Pep Guardiola would be looking at a crucial summer ahead of 2018/19 season.

#1 Fred

The midfielder came close to joining City in January

No other player has been linked to City as the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder. His classy display against AS Roma in the 2nd round of UEFA Champions League proved why Guardiola is keen to sign the player in the summer.

The 25-year-old has been in sublime form for the Ukrainian side this season with his tenacity, tackling and passing. He is a marvellous passer of the ball and a severe counter-attacking threat.

The Brazilian has made 26 appearances this season and scored three while creating another four, from the central midfield position.

His dribbling and tackling skills have attracted the attention from some big clubs, and the player would tick all the required boxes for Pep at the Etihad Stadium.

The Cityzens made an unsuccessful attempt to sign the player in January as Shakhtar value the player closer to £50m.
