Manchester City are pricing Eliaquim Mangala out of a permanent deal with Valencia.
After completing a season-long loan with Los Che, Mangala has declared he is "on the market".
Marca says Valencia are eager to sign the defender outright - but not at the €18 million option agreed at the beginning of the season.
Despite their willingness to find a buyer for Mangala, City are insisting on holding Valencia to the original price and refusing to budge.
For the moment, Valencia have decided to pass on signing the France international permanently.
