Guardiola demands Man City go for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul

Manchester City are eyeing Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

The youngster has been a revelation for Atletico in the Champions League this season, helping Diego Simeone's team to the semifinals.

Don Balon says City boss Pep Guardiola is a big fan and wants to bring him to England this summer.

Indeed, he's already recommended Saul to sports chief Txiki Begiristain and urged him to open negotiations with Atletico.

Txiki will seek to do business for €35 million, though Atletico rate their young to closer to double that amount.
