Manchester City transfer news: Pep Guardiola to sign Ante Coric for £10m as summer spending soars over £160m
New Etihad boss determined to make his mark in the Premier League this season and continues to splash the cash
MANCHESTER CITY are reportedly on the verge of completing a £10million deal for Croatian whizkid Ante Coric.
Pep Guardiola has already spent over £150m this summer on big names including John Stones, Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan.
But claims City are far from finished in the transfer market, with Guardiola hopeful of signing Coric from Dinamo Zagreb this weekend.
The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the finest young talents in Europe and was an unused substitute for Croatia at Euro 2016.
Liverpool are believed to be interested in Coric, with West Ham also holding talks with his club in June.
But the attacking midfielder will instead move to the Etihad following lengthy negotiations, taking City’s spending over £160m.
