Man City lining up £100m swoop from league rivals
Manchester City are reportedly confident of prising away Alexis Sanchez and Kyle Walker for a combined £100m fee in the summer.
City boss Pep Guardiola is desperate to reinforce his squad in the coming transfer window with the forward and backline in need of sufficient strengthening.
Sanchez has always been a favourite under Pep, and according to The Mirror, he is prepared to lure him with the promise of a £250k-a-week package.
The Chile international has amassed 29 goals for Arsenal during the ongoing campaign, but his future remains uncertain beyond this season after having declined a proposed extension.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's Kyle Walker is the other on the Citizens radar following his recent rift with manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The north London outfit are opening to offloading the right-back/right wing-back at the right price even though he links up with a direct league rival.
Guardiola is prepared to sanction a nine-figure sum for the star pairing prior to the summer transfer window as he looks to beat potential suitors to their services.
Manchester City failed to offer any challenge for the Premier League title this season, and Guardiola would surely want to improve after his side finished 15 points behind champions Chelsea.
