Manchester City must sell players to fund a move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
The Manchester Evening News says City manager Pep Guardiola is keen on the England captain but Daniel Levy is refusing to let him go for less than £160m.
And that fee would be too much for City at present, and they would reportedly need to sell players if they want both Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish and Kane.
A number of City stars have been linked with exits this summer, including England's Euro 2020 hero Raheem Sterling, who has interested both Arsenal and Spurs.
Riyad Mahrez was also said to be a target of Gunners this summer and has interested Real Madrid.
While Bernardo Silva is another big name linked with a move away.
