Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made a personal move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.

Guardiola announced on Friday that Leroy Sane would be leaving this summer and it's emerged he wants to see a direct replacement signed.

And Fussball Transfers reports Guardiola has spoken personally with Bailey about a move to England and City.

The City manager sees the Jamaica international as a like-for-like replacement for Sane, who is expected to join Bayern Munich.

For his part, Bailey was delighted to take Guardiola's call, however a move to City won't be smooth with Manchester United also keen on the midfielder.
