Pep Guardiola wants Harry Kane and Jack Grealish as Raheem Sterling could leave Man City and more transfer rumours

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is planning a radical transformation and shakeup of his Premier League-winning side this summer.

The Athletic report Guardiola has identified Harry Kane and Jack Grealish as his transfer targets and it's said that both players would be interested in a move to the Etihad, the latter's availability is still dependant on Tottenham's willingness to sell, though.

Both deals could prove costly and it's been previously reported Aston Villa value Grealish at £100m while it's been suggested Tottenham, who are known to be reluctant to sell Kane, would consider sanctioning an exit for a fee in the region of £120m.

It's perhaps therefore not surprising that the same report from The Athletic claims Guardiola is planning a transformation of his side, with Aymeric Laporte, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling all believed to be unhappy at their lack of involvement and roles.

It's said those three players could leave City this summer, which would create funds to pursue Grealish and Kane, but it's also reported that Riyad Mahrez is another candidate to be sold despite his stand out and crucial performances in big games this season.

The article also claims Joao Cancelo wanted to seek an exit from City last year after an underwhelming campaign and, after Kyle Walker has seemingly consolidated himself at right-back, that he's not against leaving Manchester if the opportunity is there.

Who should City sign and sell this summer? Let us know in the comments section.
