The Premier League champions’ pursuit of striker Harry Kane has been in the media since the latter part of last season but Tottenham Hotspur are reluctant to sanction the sale of their prized asset.
Manchester City are looking to replace Sergio Aguero, who left the club after ten successful years in the Premier League, and Kane is said to be eager to join them.
With just a week left for the window to be closed, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach is still unsure if the Manchester- based club will sign a new striker.
“When we decide to not sign a contract for Aguero and people say what we're going to do, I said many times: it'll depend on the market, the options,” he said.
“Maybe we buy or maybe we'll not. We still have 10 days in the transfer market, we're going to see what happens, and it depends on that what decision we are going to take.
“If the team is the same one, I said before the 5-0, I'm more than pleased with the team. I know them really well, they know me really well.
“We put in incredible energy this week to realise that still we want to be there, to try to compete with the good teams in England and good teams in Europe.
“We want to be there. The group of people are fantastic, the players have incredible quality, so I cannot complain.
“I've never complained since I arrived day one, I will not do it now, but of course the club has an obligation, the duty to look forward, to get better, to feel we can still be there with a tough Premier League and this is what we are going to do.”
