The most important thing is to go to Barcelona to Barcelona. (Departing from Colonia in 2013), but he realized his dream (for Barcelona).

Pep Guardiola was asked at a press conference on Friday whether Manchester City could introduce more new players before the deadline.

He said, "I don't know." "Financially, we have remained stable last season. Even now, through the investment we make, we have received huge net profit in the past five seasons.

"Maybe we will continue to do this in the future, because in the past five years, the club's economic situation in sales is very good, and it has also helped us win what we want."
