Manchester City are ready to spend big during the January transfer window to save their season, according to The Sunday Express.

The Premier League reigning champions had planned to give Pep Guardiola a budget of £100m for January at the start of the season, but they are now set to double that amount due to the team's ongoing crisis.

Therefore, Guardiola is free to choose whoever suits his style of play after the management agreed to allocate a sum of £200m for new deals in January.

Manchester City have been linked with several high profile stars such as Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi (£60m), Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres (£65m), Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci (£33m) and Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes (£75m).
