Pep Guardiola has told Man City's transfer chiefs to wrap up the deal for Riyad Mahrez in time for the club's US pre-season tour.

Man City are closing in on a club record £75million move for the Leicester City winger, with sources in Manchester suggesting the deal could get completed within days.

Leicester have been in talks with the Premier League champions since January when they rejected an offer of £50m plus winger Patrick Roberts, who the Citizens valued at £15m.

The Foxes had wanted £80m in cash, with the offer for Mahrez having come so close to the transfer deadline.

However, a fee is now close to being agreed, which is believed to be £60m up front with a potential further £15m in add-ons.

The Manchester Evening News report that Guardiola has told Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano and sporting director Txiki Begiristain to get summer transfer business wrapped up as quickly as possible.

Man City head to a tour of the US in July and Guardiola is planning on including Mahrez on the trip. The transfer window closes early this summer, with Premier League clubs able to sign players until August 9.

Leicester are also said to be still interested in Roberts, but any move for the young winger would be completely separate to any deal for Mahrez.
