Manchester City are weighing up making a swap offer for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley. The Daily Star Sunday says City are thinking of making a move for Barkley, 20, who is currently injured - though not at the staggering £50million fee which has been suggested.
But any move for him is likely to be met by an Everton enquiry for City's James Milner, 28.
Goodison Park boss Roberto Martinez is an admirer of the consistent Milner and could see him as an alternative target to Manchester United's Tom Cleverley.
Martinez wanted Cleverley, 25, in the summer transfer window but instead of moving to Merseyside, the midfielder joined Aston Villa on loan.
