Not on Manchester City's radar

Manchester City end Miralem Pjanic's pursuit

According to RMC Sport, Pep Guardiola has admitted that Manchester City are no longer in the race to sign Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic. City were one of the clubs linked with the Bosnian after the Premier League champions missed out on Jorginho.

Pjanic is also on Barcelona's radar and may now leave for a Spanish expedition. City, meanwhile, are believed to shift their focus towards Real Madrid's Matteo Kovacic or Southampton's Mario Lemina in their search of a creative midfielder.
