Manchester City have been linked with Jack Grealish and Harry Kane this summer with the Premier League champions tipped to be the favorites to land the English duo. The Premier League champions are all set for a squad revamp to boost their chances for their maiden UEFA Champions League title next season.

ESPN understands that City are looking to raise at least £100 million by selling the likes of Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, and Aymeric Laporte.

Raheem Sterling’s future at the Etihad Stadium has been under speculation ever since the 26-year-old lost his place in Pep’x XI to Phil Foden. Despite being the top scorer for City in the last season, Sterling’s inability to come good in the big game has lost his place in the XI.

The former Liverpool man has been linked with a move to Spain with Barcelona and Real Madrid said to be interested in the winger.

Aymeric Laporte, like Raheem Sterling, has lost his place to the formidable duo of John Stones and Ruben Dias. The defensive duo of Stones and Dias was instrumental in City recapturing the Premier League from Liverpool.

The former Athletic Bilbao defender has been linked with a move back to Spain and has been linked with a move to Barcelona as well. The Cityzens are said to be interested in Sergi Roberto who is likely to be sold this summer hence a swap deal involving Laporte and Roberto might be possible, given the delicate financial situation at the Camp Nou.

Riyad Mahrez, 30, had an impressive second-half last season and the Algerian even put up a match-winning performance in the UCL semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain. The winger, however, has been inconsistent with his performances ever since he completed his move to Manchester City in 2018.

Ferran Torres is likely to be given more chances next season.
