Guardiola says he does not know how City become faster in the transfer marketManchester City's rivals in the transfer market are proving "quicker and smarter" in signing top players, says manager Pep Guardiola. But asked how exactly City become quicker and more efficient in the market, he replied: "I don't know. Before the rumours were that it was just Paris St-Germain and Manchester City. Guardiola cites the world-record transfer of Brazilian forward Neymar from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain in 2017 as a moment where the transfer market and salaries "increased to incredible levels". "I think we try to keep the harmony in the locker room with the wages," added Guardiola.
