Now, Spanish outlet ESPN claim Guardiola is looking to bring in both players to join the Premier League champions in a bid to defend the title next season.

Although Harry Kane is the major target of the Blues as a possible replacement for Sergio Aguero who has departed the club, the Man City manager believes they must not miss the chance to sign Grealish.

City have a wealth of options in the attack including Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva.

But Foden, who picked up the PFA Young Player of the Year award on Sunday, is seen as the main man going forward.

The 20-year-old scored 16 goals in all competitions and added 10 assists as he helped City reach their first Champions League final.

And Guardiola believes the addition of Kane and Grealish can help them go one better after losing out to Chelsea.

On the other hand, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly decided to target Erling Haaland instead of Harry Kane ahead of the summer transfer window.

Kane intimated earlier in the season he wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer and will be discussing his future with the club during the off-season.

The development is understood to have put a number of clubs on red alert, with Man United, Chelsea, and Man City emerging as potential suitors.

Legit.ng earlier reported that on-loan Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori has reportedly joined Italian outfit AC Milan on a permanent deal committing his future to the club until 2026.

The 23-year-old English footballer was initially on a six-month loan spell at the San Siro outfit which included an option to buy if he impresses.

Tomori was amazing at the just concluded Serie A season and his performances led to speculations that he might be retained permanently.
