Manchester City are reportedly planning to offer Everton three players in order to land the services of John Stones this summer.
The 21-year-old defender, who is also wanted by Manchester United, Chelsea and La Liga champions Barcelona, is being sought in exchange for Wilfried Bony, Jesus Navas and Eliaquim Mangala, according to the Sunday People.
City are hopeful that the trio, who cost a combined £75m, will be a sufficiently tempting prospect for the Toffees in the summer transfer window.
Everton have thus far rejected all offers for Stones, including a rumoured bid of £45m from the Blues in the mid-season window.
