Guardiola plotting move for former Premier League hitman

Pep Guardiola is hoping to persuade Luis Suarez to return to the Premier League with Manchester City, reports the Express.

The Uruguay international has been in fine form for Barcelona this season, netting an impressive 26 league goals in 29 appearances.

However, Guardiola believes he can lure Suarez back to England with the help of his brother Pere, who runs the Media Sports Base Agency that represents both Pep Guardiola and the Barca striker.

Guardiola may not take over the reins at Manchester City until the summer, but is working on bringing top transfer targets to the Etihad in the background.

The former Barcelona head coach had wanted to sign Suarez for Bayern Munich prior to his move to Camp Nou in 2014, but he is hopeful a deal can be struck to take him back to England this summer.
