Sane and Stones deals edge closer

Manchester City are closing in on deals for highly-rated duo Leroy Sane and John Stones, according to Manchester Evening News.

The pair are set to cost City a fee in the region of £100m – £45m for Sane and anywhere between £45m and £55m for Stones – as Pep Guardiola adds to the four players that he has already recruited this summer.

The Sky Blues are understood to have agreed personal terms with Sane and hope to complete a deal before they jet off for the beginning of their pre-season preparations in China.

Stones could, however, be a more difficult deal to complete, with Ronald Koeman reluctant to sell one of his best defensive assets. However, the Englishman has made it clear to new manager Koeman that he wants to join the Citizens this summer.

City still hope to complete deals for both players before the aforementioned trip to China, where they face cross-city rivals Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund.
