'Incredible player, incredibly nice guy... but it’s not right': Pep Guardiola denies Manchester City were offered the chance to sign Neymar after reports in France said PSG 'wanted swap deal with Bernardo Silva'

Pep Guardiola has dismissed reports that Manchester City turned down the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar because the French champions wanted any deal to include Bernardo Silva.

City have already made a number of big signings this summer but that hasn't stopped them from continuing to be linked with another huge one over the past couple of weeks.

Neymar has had an up and down five years with PSG since his world record transfer and was even booed by his own fans following another disastrous Champions League exit last season.
