Manchester City are set to offer Everton up to £75million in players to pry youngster John Stones from the Merseyside club, according to reports.
Wilfred Bony, Eliaquim Mangala and Jesus Navas are said to be the players that would be exchanged for the talented defender but it remains unsure whether Everton would reject the deal although Roberto Martinez has shown he has no desire to sell the youngster.
Bony has scored 5 goals in the Premier League this season while Jesus Navas and Eliaquim Mangala have been considered failures in Manchester.
Stones has had to play his part on the bench in recent weeks due to the impressive form of captain Phil Jagielka and Ramiro Funes Mori, with three straight clean sheets before the West Brom game in which the Blues lost 1-0.
It is expected that the Englishman will return to the team when Everton face Bournemouth in the FA Cup Fifth Round next Saturday, with Roberto Martinez most likely wanting to rotate his squad after naming an unchanged side on Saturday against West Brom for the third consecutive time.
Stones has been linked with several clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid with competition for the defender heating up.
