Exclusive: How Pep Guardiola plans to lure Barcelona star Luis Suarez back to England
PEP GUARDIOLA believes he can persuade Luis Suarez to join him at Manchester City next season – with the help of his brother, football agent Pere.
Guardiola believes he holds the key to sealing Suarez's return to the Premier League
The younger sibling runs the Media Base Sports agency that represents both Pep and former Liverpool hitman Suarez.
And he is hoping that this connection will produce a deal for the Barcelona star before the start of next season.
Even though Guardiola doesn’t take over from Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad until later in the summer, he has been working on a list of transfer targets.
Express Sport has learned that Barcelona would like City to pay it for them as part of any overall deal.
City must also secure a top-four spot in the Premier League as Suarez has made it clear that he would never join a club who were not playing in the Champions League.
