Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed the club's interest in Tottenham striker Harry Kane but says Lionel Messi is "not in our thoughts".
City want to add Kane, 28, to England team-mate Jack Grealish, who joined on Thursday in a £100m British record move from Aston Villa.
But they are thought to not be willing to meet Spurs' £160m valuation.
"We are interested in him but if Spurs don't want to negotiate then there is nothing more to say," said Guardiola.
"If they want to, we will try, that is all.
"He's a player for Tottenham and if they don't want to negotiate then it's finished.
