2. Sergio Busquets
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has been linked with a move to the Premier League Champions in the past*, so much so that City have had to refute speculation that they are interested in the Spaniard. But Busquets is the player City's midfield are crying out for right now with powerhouse Yaya Toure away on African Cup of Nations duty and 31-year old Gareth Barry reaching the end of his playing career. His contract expires at the Nou Camp this June,** but there is a reported buy-out clause of £60 million for City to contend with if they want to land his signature. Either way, signing Busquets would certainly please Guariola. The duo emerged from the reserve side
Barcelona B at the same time in 2008 to become integral figures in the senior side. And Busquets says he still misses his former manager, stating:
"For all that Guardiola has given me, I will miss him always."
