Arsenal join Spurs, Man United in race for £50m star
Manchester United and Tottenham are the main clubs sniffing around the attacking midfielder, who told the Toffees that he wouldn’t sign a new deal with them last season.
This has led Ronald Koeman to look for a replacement, and to count on alternatives - one of which could be new £20 million signing Davy Klaassen.
With Tottenham considered to be the main pursuer, Manchester United re-entered the race recently, though they only value the 23-year-old at around £20 million, a similar price to Tottenham’s valuation. It’s a pity that Everton only value him at £50m.
The scorer of six goals in all competitions and the provider of eight assists, Barkley was reported to want to become Tottenham’s most-paid player, though those reports have since been found to be inaccurate.
Either way, he is said to have rejected £100.000-a-week from Everton in order to stay.
