Everton will insist on £50 million to sell Ross Barkley this summer.

The Daily Star Sunday says Manchester City chiefs have been told they won't get Barkley on the cheap after targeting him almost 12 months ago as an essential English signing.

City bosses were thinking closer to £30m but have been told to think again - and add another whopping £20m if, and when, they return in the summer.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is also a fan, though is unlikely to consider meeting Everton's asking price.
