Stoke Butland price frustrates Aston Villa, Bournemouth

Stoke City are pricing Jack Butland out of a return to the Premier League.

The Mirror says Butland is facing another season in the Championship as Stoke City refuse to buckle over their transfer demands.

Butland is a target for both Aston Villa and Bournemouth this summer, with both eager to take him back to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old is keen to leave the Potteries after Stoke's poor season in 2018-19.

Stoke chief Peter Coates is ready to sanction Butland's departure - but refuses let him leave on the cheap.

They value Butland in the region of £30million, a figure neither Villa nor Bournemouth are willing to pay.
