Kyle Walker could be priced out of a move to Manchester City as Tottenham are now demanding more than £60million for him.

The north Londoners are ready to dig their heels in over England right-back Walker , who only signed a new five-year contract last September.

With Liverpool prepared to pay a similar fee for Southampton centre-half Virgil van Dijk, Spurs believe they are justified in valuing Walker at significantly more than the £40m price he originally thought was on his head.

City have already signalled their intent to massively back manager Pep Guardiola this summer with a £43m swoop for Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva .

They are also set to sign Benfica keeper Ederson for £35m — a world record for a player in his position.

But it now remains to be seen whether they are willing to meet Tottenham’s demands, or look elsewhere for new full-backs.

Walker has for some time been expected to move to the Etihad, where he will be able to double his £75,000-a-week wages.

Asked on international duty whether he’d had any indication as to where he will be playing next season, however, the 27-year-old said: “No, no indication at all. No.”

Van Dijk, who is also of interest to City and champions Chelsea, has been out with injury since January.

Walker has been a key member of the Spurs team that finished second behind Chelsea, with the best defence in the country.
