Big English clubs are fighting for the seventeen-year-old Ross Barkley of Liverpool, valued at nearly 35 million euros.
According to the "Daily Mail," the leaders of London's Chelsea, Man Utd, and Man City are ready to dig deep into their pockets and pay a record sum for the young footballer.
Seven years ago, Man Utd paid almost 30 million euros for the 18-year-old Everton forward Wayne Rooney, and Barkley is considered by some specialists to be no less promising than England's stars.
"I thought Steven Gerrard was the best player in his position that I had ever seen in his youth, but Barkley is no worse," one coach said.
The situation of the young talent is also being monitored by giants from Spain: Barcelona and Real Madrid.
This season in the English championship, Everton's midfielder has played 3 matches, starting in the lineup in two of them.
