“We will see the opportunities at the end of the market if a club needs to sell more than now for example, so I don't know,” Guardiola explained.

“Coming into the market now and knowing that we are making a good transfer in terms of finances with Julian, people are waiting with the red carpet waiting to say come on, come here and that's why we have to see what happens.

“Because the club has done well in the past. Many players have not come because the club has not paid what the other club wanted for that player. The club will continue to do what is right.”
