Manchester City Football Club could move for Gareth Barry in the summer.
The England international was a constant target for Liverpool ahead of the 2008/09 season, but the Reds refused to meet Aston Villa’s £17million value.
Barry is out of contract at the end of next season, and after his starring role this term, the Midlands club are eager to tie him to a new deal.But if the midfielder refuses to pen a fresh contract Martin O’Neill will have little choice but to offload him, which could arouse interest from City.
The mega-rich Eastlands side are already drawing up a list of shortlists for the summer, and reports suggest they could offer Villa £14million in the summer.
