Manchester City were hoping to land Brazilian defender Dani Alves, as well as Kyle Walker, for the pair to share the right-back position.
However, Guardiola was handed a heavy blow on Wednesday as Alves was unveiled as PSG's latest signing. 'If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City feel hurt, I apologise to them', Alves said upon his arrival to Paris.
This puts pressure on the Citizens, and it seems Tottenham have sensed the urgency coming from the Etihad. City's Spanish manager wants to have Walker for their pre-season tour of America, but Daniel Levy is proving a tough negotiator once again.
City were hoping to sign the England international for £40m, but Spurs want to recoup significantly more for the right-back. Daniel Levy wants at least £50m and he has made it clear in the past that he is not likely to buckle.
