City want the best attack possible and, according to journalist Bruno Andrade of 'UOL Esporte', Joao Felix could be the next Sky Blues target. Pep Guardiola's idea is to try to sign him to form a duo with Erling Haaland. However, the club will only go for him if they can get rid of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.

At the Etihad Stadium they have been tracking Joao Felix for some time now. Atletico have always kept the Portuguese away from the English club. Up to 70 million was prepared in his day to sign him, but without luck.

'UOL Esporte' journalist Bruno Andrade reports that City are still interested in Joao Felix. Coach Pep Guardiola has by no means forgotten about the 'Colchonero' attacker.

The manager would be delighted with the duo of Haaland and Joao Felix. However, in order to try to sign the Portuguese star, City would have to go to the market to say goodbye to a couple of players.

The aforementioned source points out that only in the event that City manage to sell Gabriel Jesus and Sterling, the club would make a bid for Joao Felix. The Portuguese would be the chosen one if the English club manages to make money with these two transfers.

For the moment, both Gabriel Jesus and Sterling are still Pep Guardiola's players. The Spaniard will have to wait to find out if he can fulfil his desire to sign Joao Felix.
