Manchester City offers five players to Tottenham for Harry Kane as Raheem Sterling snubs move.
It is expected to be a summer of transition at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola prepares to reshape his squad ahead of the Premier League period.
City were on track for a possible Quadruple before they were ejected out of the FA Cup by Chelsea at the semi-finals stage and then hit by the Blues in the Champions League final in Porto.
Guardiola’s side walked to a third Premier League title in his fifth season at the club ahead of city rivals Manchester United.
But Guardiola will be careful of resting on their laurels after their domestic accomplishment and the Catalan is keen to add to his team following the exit of several key figures.
Sergio Aguero has now left on a free transfer after choosing to join Barcelona on a two-year contract, while the future of Fernandinho very much remains up in the air with the 36-year-old’s contract set to lapse.
Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has already informed the club are ready to break the bank to seize their transfer targets this summer, with Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, and Erling Haaland among the names linked.
Manchester City have reportedly told Tottenham they can choose from five players as potential makeweights for any deal to sign Harry Kane.

According to The Athletic, City approached the north London club on Monday with a £100million offer to sign England captain Kane, who is currently at Euro 2020.
The 27-year-old has declared his ambition to leave his boyhood club this summer after going another season without a trophy, with Spurs set to play in the Europa Conference League next season.
As part of the deal, City are clearly willing to put up Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Riyad Mahrez in part exchange.
Tottenham are understood to be reluctant to discuss a deal for 23-goal Kane, who has three years left on his contract and could demand a fee as high as £150m.
Raheem Sterling has reportedly notified Manchester City he does not hold any concern in heading to Tottenham as part of the £100m deal to sign Harry Kane.
The 26-year-old, currently with the England squad at Euro 2020, endured a frustrating campaign for the champions, scoring only 14 times this season compared to his impressive haul of 31 goals in 2019-20.
Widespread reports claimed City had made Sterling available to Spurs should they wish combine the England international in the agreement to bring down the price.
Speculation has also suggested Arsenal’s sporting director Edu has lined up Sterling and team-mate Riyad Mahrez if Guardiola is open to selling the pair.
But ESPN report Sterling is unwilling to leave and is not keen on being considered as a makeweight in the deal.
