Manchester City 'expect Harry Kane, Jack Grealish updates by the weekend'

Manchester City are reportedly hopeful of making progress in their pursuit of Harry Kane and Jack Grealish in the near future.

Pep Guardiola has allegedly identified the England pair as his priority transfer targets ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

However, neither Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa want to sell their most prized assets, insisting on transfer fees in excess of £150m and £100m respectively.

According to the Daily Mail, City are confident that they may make the breakthrough in discussions over the coming days.

The pair have each enjoyed a two-week break since representing the Three Lions at Euro 2020, effectively delaying resolutions regarding their futures.

Nevertheless, it appears that City are now ready to make considerable strides in signing at least one of the duo before the end of the summer window.
