Manchester City table £20m package for Leighton Baines
Posted Thursday, June 30, 2011 by The Sun
MANCHESTER CITY are ready to test Everton's resolve by offering a £20million package for Leighton Baines.
Eastlands chief Roberto Mancini is a long-term fan of the Blues left-back, and asked Goodison boss David Moyes about him last year.
Those inquiries got a swift knockback.
But Moyes is so strapped for funds he cannot even make a down payment on top target Charles N'Zogbia.
The Everton gaffer knows he must sell one of his main men to have any serious cash to spend.
And England star Baines - who cost £6m from Wigan four years ago - could raise £20m.
City would be willing to cough up around £10m in cash for the 26-year-old PLUS two players.
Emmanuel Adebayor and Nedum Onuoha would top the list of candidates, as Everton are keen to bring in a new striker and strengthen their backline.
Moyes also hopes to raise around £4m when Joseph Yobo's loan move to Fenerbahce becomes permanent.
