Manchester City are eager to sell Eliaquim Mangala.
The Sun says Valencia are trying to slash the £16m asking price to buy Eliaquim Mangala in the summer.
Mangala is spending the season on loan in Spain, and City hoped to get the £32m flop off their books with a permanent move at the end of that.
Valencia refused to sign a commitment to buy agreement when he joined them, instead nailing down a guaranteed price of half the fee he cost from Porto - if they wanted him.
Despite a dodgy first half of the campaign, his performances over the last six weeks have prompted a rethink by club bosses, and they are keen for him to join full time.
But they cannot afford the fee and his £110,000 a week wages, and want to cut the asking price by £4m.
