NEVES GOING TO PAY £100M

midfield. Guardiola has seen the Portuguese star valued at £100m but won’t go that high, even though signing a midfielder is their top transfer priority.

“A month ago, I started reading ‘Ruben Neves, £100million’,” said the City boss, who faces Neves and Wolves tonight. “That’s not going to happen, we’re not going to pay £100m for a holding midfielder.

“Specifically Fernandinho’s (above) role, it’s so difficult to find. He knows the Premier League, after three years together here, he knows everything and that’s so important.

“But for the next season it’s an important target to find. He’ll be 34 and he cannot play every few days.”
