Man City vs AC Milan: From City to Saudi?
City’s stars are being targeted by Al Ittihad this summer with constant rumours of moves for Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson.
However, talkSPORT understands that a deal for De Bruyne isn’t close to happening at the moment.
The Belgian is a target, but the Premier League champions would want around £100million to part with one of their greatest-ever players.
As for Ederson, the interest is concrete and Al Ittihad have been told they will be required to pay in excess of £30m to land the goalkeeper.
Both players are in the final year of their contract with City and their future remains up in the air.
They have been key components in City’s success under Guardiola, with the pair being at the club for nine and seven years respectively.

Man City vs AC Milan: What has been said?
Guardiola has been able to find some positives from his side’s defeat to Celtic in their pre-season opener.
Speaking post-match, the Man City boss said: “I saw many good things from the new and old players.
“It wasn’t easy, we have senior players up front and back four eight or nine who are so young.
“It’s difficult in one department when so many are young but many good things, Oscar [Bobb] and Rico [Lewis] always in a high level.
“Many things I saw were nice. We created chances, but they are so good with the pace and quality they have.
“You have to live these situations in pre-season and we’ll do it from here.”
