Manchester City plotting move for Alexis Sanchez or Kylian Mbappe as Pep Guardiola continues spending after breaking transfer world record

Manchester City are ready to take their astronomical summer spending to another level by bidding for Alexis Sanchez or Kylian Mbappe after breaking the world record for a transfer window.

Benjamin Mendy completed his £52million move from Monaco on Monday, meaning that City have spent close to £130m on defenders alone in this transfer window in addition to the £35m it cost to buy new goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.

Pep Guardiola has landed his two first-choice targets in Mendy and Tottenham’s Kyle Walker to fill the full-back positions, as well as signing the versatile Danilo from Real Madrid.
