PEP GUARDIOLA has confirmed he wants John Stones and Leroy Sane to join his Manchester City revolution.
Pep Guardiola is keen to land Leroy Sane and John Stones
City are understood to believe they will reach an agreement over both players before the start of the new season.
Stones, 22, has joined Everton on the pre-season tour to Germany and Schalke are still holding out over Sane.
Both clubs want City to pay £50million for their player and Guardiola today opened up on his interest.
"Sane is a player from Schalke. If he comes, we'll be happy. If he stays, I'll be happy for the Schalke fans," Guardiola said.
And on Stones, Guardiola added: "It's the same answer for Sane - he's a player for Everton.
"Everyone knows we're going to try but we will see."
Stones played 30 minutes of Tuesday's win at MK Dons, his first appearance since returning from extended leave after being part of England's Euro 2016 squad.
