With the legendary Sergio Aguero all set to depart the club this summer, it is no surprise that City are said to be in the market for a proper number nine, capable of emulating the outgoing Argentine’s feats in the sky blue shirt.

More from Man City Transfer Rumors

Harry Kane is said to be one of the preferred candidates for Pep Guardiola as the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager is rumored to be heavily backed by the City board this time in the summer market following a highly successful season.

The asking price for the English striker is likely to be in the range of £150 million.

Having said that, Kane was always linked with a move to Manchester but it was not always necessarily City. Rivals Manchester United have also been linked with a possible transfer involving Harry Kane.

New reports from Caught Offside suggest that the 26-year-old has decided his next destination and it is understood that the Tottenham record goal-scorer wants to play under the guidance of Pep Guardiola and he believes that he has the best chance of winning silverware in a sky blue shirt.

It comes as a massive boost for the Cityzens and their transfer plans for the summer as the Premier League champions have also been linked with Erling Haaland, aside from Harry Kane. However, the catch to the Haaland situation is that many clubs are said to be in the race and the Norweigan striker is rumored to be inclined towards a move to Spain.

Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the modern era. The 26-year-old is enjoying one of his best seasons in a Tottenham shirt. The Englishman has recorded 22 goals and has 13 assists to his credit.

Kane will certainly be a good fit at Manchester City and now it remains to be seen if Tottenham let their best player leave and if City choose to pursue Kane over Haaland.
