Furthermore, numerous players have departed the Etihad, including Raheem Sterling, who joined Chelsea after scoring 131 times for the Premier League champions.
With Sterling and Gabriel Jesus both out the door, City have been linked with several forwards, including Neymar.
PSG are reportedly open to selling the 30-year-old, with Manchester United, Chelsea and City all believed to be keen.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Guardiola was asked about the club’s reported interest in the Brazilian forward; shutting down any talk that his side will look to bring him in during the summer transfer window.
“I’m sorry but it’s not true,” the Spaniard said (quotes via the Mirror). “The information is not right.
“Neymar is an incredible player and the info I have is that he’s an incredibly nice guy. But it’s not right.
“Every summer Manchester City are going to buy 150 players!”

They will “push” in the coming days with Guardiola prioritising a move for Cucurella following Zinchenko’s £30million departure.
