Manchester City have assured
Pep Guardiola he will have the funds to sign a top class striker - if he misses out Alexis Sanchez.
The Etihad hierarchy are refusing to meet Arsenal’s £35m valuation for the Chilean, as well as the demands of his agent.
They are so determined not to back down that they are prepared to let Sanchez head to bitter rivals Manchester United this month instead.
But Guardiola - who City insiders say is in complete agreement with their stance - has been told money will be made available in summer for him to strengthen what is already the deadliest strike force in the Premier League.
And that will be significantly more than would be required to land Sanchez this month.
Atletico Madrid striker - and United target - Antoine Griezmann is one player admired by Guardiola, who was interested in signing the Frenchman last season.
