Man City on alert as Neymar says he wants to work with “different” boss

Neymar has paved the way for a move to Manchester City by admitting he wants to work with Pep Guardiola.

The Brazilian star left Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain last summer in a world-record £200 million deal, but he has since been heavily linked with a move away from the French champions.

The 26-year-old says he wants to experience working alongside Guardiola having missed the opportunity when he arrived at previous club Barcelona a year after the Spanish coach’s departure.

“I’ve always wanted to work with Guardiola – he’s different,” he told ESPN Brazil.
