​Man City manager Guardiola refuses to rule out move for Monaco star Mbappe: 'We will see'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hinted that he could make a big money swoop for Kylian Mbappe this summer.

City have splashed around £219m on new players during the current summer transfer window and despite such huge spending, the Citizens are believed to be keen on a whopping £160m move for the Monaco wonderkid.

With Real Madrid currently keen on signing Mbappe it remains to be seen as to whether City will pursue the Frenchman.

However, Guardiola has now dropped a huge hint that he would be interested in facilitating the potential world record breaking transfer.

When asked about a potential move for Mbappe, Guardiola said: "The player is still at Monaco. Anything can happen — we are still looking at other players in the market.

"There are a lot of other players but he is still on that team.

"We have two exceptional forwards in Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero.

"We will see. The market finishes on August 31."
