At the head of a disappointing Manchetser City team this season, Pep Guardiola is preparing for the cleanup. To increase the number of the Citizens, the Spaniard coach could make the effort to recruit Tottenham’s Dele Alli this summer.
Alli has been put forward as the most likely to target in the Premier League this summer. Guardiola former player, Xavi, reveals Manchester City are plotting a world record bid for Dele Alli. According to Xavi, Dele Alli could be next big blow of the Mancunian team.
“I’m talking with Pep, and I know he thinks it’s important to recruit English players. I am sure that this summer he will be looking all over Europe to try to bring back players capable of strengthening the tea, but he looks especially in the Premier League,” Xavi told media.
“Today, the best English player, who is one of the best players at his post in Europe, is Dele Alli. We’re talking about a very special player. On the technical level, he is one of the players very appreciated by Guardiola, the kind of players that corresponds to the style of play of Pep.
“I am sure it is not going to be a player that Tottenham will want to let him go, but we know Manchester City have big resources.” former Barcelona players added to the media.
Alli was elected on Sunday as the youngest Premier League player. With 20 goals and 7 assists in 44 games in all competitions this season, the 21-year-old has been shining at European clubs, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich on the other hand, although moderate on the transfer market, would even be willing to put 100 million euros on the table to enlist the British player in this summer.

As a result, if the Citizens want to build a team capable of fighting in the Premier League and the Champions League next season, with Alli headlining, it will have to be very convincing to bend the Spurs. And therefore propose a check even more important than that of the other contenders of the English. Paul Pogba bought for 105 million euros by Manchester United from Juventus last summer.
