Incoming Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants to work with Everton defender John Stones.
The Daily Mail says City's oil rich owners are ready to back their new boss the hilt with a transfer budget of well over £100million.
Everton's £50million-rated defender Stones, 21, is high on City's shopping list.
City hope the chance to work with departing Bayern Munich coach Guardiola will convince Stones about a move.
