Everton are ready to sell Jack Rodwell for £20 million.
The Daily Star Sunday says the Blues have decided that Rodwell is the player they are prepared to sacrifice to raise transfer funds for manager David Moyes.
Their decision will spark a £20million bidding war with Manchester City, Spurs and Chelsea all eyeing the England Under-21 midfielder.
And it also means it is decision time for Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who has the longest-standing interest in Birkdale-born Rodwell, 20.
United's interest appeared to have cooled with Fergie pursuing other targets.
