Bayern Munich have made it clear that they ban Pep Guardiola from taking any of his current stars across to Manchester City.

According to the Daily Star, the German giants will not allow the Premier League club to sign any of their players when Guardiola departs the Allianz Arena for Etihad Stadium.

The Spaniard will replace Manuel Pellegrini this summer and since the confirmation of the appointment, there have been many rumours regarding which players the former Barcelona boss will try to lure to City.

There has been talk that Guardiola could try to sign the likes of Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski while Mario Gotze and Arjen Robben have also been mentioned but a verbal agreement with Bayern chiefs will hinder any potential transfers form happening.

That will leave Guardiola to look at some of his former Barca pupils such as Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets along with other City targets including Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Everton defender John Stones.
