Neymar, Paul Pogba and 5 more players Bayern Munich didn't sign causing Pep Guardiola's exit
  • Pep Guardiola spent €204m on 13 players during this three-year stint at Bayern Munich.
  • He probably could've expected more backing from the Bavarians in the transfer market and according to a book about Pep's time at Bayern published in Germany he left the Bundesliga giants because they didn't sign him seven players.
  • Mundo Deportivo's Francesc Aguilar says that Neymar, Luis Suarez, Kevin De Bruyne and Paul Pogba were among those 7 while other reports suggest that Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane also featured in that list.
  • According to German publication Bild, on the other hand, Eden Hazard and Marco Verratti were also targeted by Pep.
  • Guardiola left Bayern for Man City in 2016 after winning 3 Bundesliga titles, 2 German Cups, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in three seasons at the Allianz Arena.
  • If the bit about the Catalan's targets is to be believed, he eventually got at least three of them at the helm of the Citizens - De Bruyne, Sterling and Sane.
