Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is eager to see two signings made this summer.
The Manchester Evening News says no attacking players are being prioritised.
Indeed, Guardiola only wants a holding midfielder - Atletico Madrid's Rodri is his No.1 choice - and a centre-back, with Vincent Kompany gone and Nicolas Otamendi keen to move.
Harry Maguire has been mooted for the centre-back spot.
However, Leicester City's £90m asking price has left City unimpressed.
