Manchester City are stepping up their interest in Everton defender Leighton Baines according to the Daily Mirror.

Reports suggest that City boss Roberto Mancini is willing to pay £10 million – half of Everton’s valuation for the player.

Mancini will reportedly sweeten the deal, however, by offering Everton a choice of his unwanted stars.

Emmanuel Adebayor could be on that list after being strongly linked with a move away from Eastlands this summer.

Adebayor spent the second half of last season at Real Madrid who subsequently turned down the chance to sign the Togolese forward permanently.

Other names reportedly being offered to the Toffees are Shaun Wright-Phillips and Craig Bellamy.

Former England left back Wayne Bridge could also be put forward as a direct replacement for Baines.

Baines enjoyed a fine season at Goodison Park last season, playing in every minute of Everton’s Premier League campaign and was awarded two player of the season awards.

Everton are seemingly looking to sell players to raise funds for their top target, Charles N’Zogbia.
