Everton will not be forced into selling Ross Barkley on the cheap – despite a growing acceptance that the midfielder's future lies away from Goodison Park.
Tottenham are keen to sign the England international, with reports this weekend suggesting the Londoners were hoping to wrap up a deal before departing on their pre-season tour of the United States on Wednesday.
According to The Mirror, they seemingly want Barkley to be their key addition, but they’re nowhere near the £50m valuation set by the Toffees.
As per the report, the 23-year-old is Mauricio Pochettino’s top summer target, and given that he’s in the last year of his contract with Everton, Tottenham value him at around £25m to £30m.
Tottenham are reportedly pushing to secure the signing of Ross Barkley before they depart for their pre-season tour this week, but there’s still a gap to be bridged. |
