Everton are trying to price Manchester City out of the market for their coveted England defender Joleon Lescott, reports the Liverpool Echo.

City have made it known they will not offer any more than £15million for Lescott.

Everton hope that their refusal to entertain any fee short of £20m will see the player stay at Goodison Park.

But now City are aiming to push the player into asking for a transfer, with a salary offer in the region of £80,000 a week – double Lescott's present Everton deal.

Lescott to the new Chelsea?? Imagine this two years ago?? I hope they get relegated with all their money and all their mercenaries. Hope Lescott does the wise thing and stay at a good club with a great future. Shove yer $15 mill.

Everton have no choice but to sell. Cash strapped scousers, its all down to agreeing a price despite thier bluster.
Everything has a price even Lescott who would walk away from Everton without a look back.
