Barton 'on transfer list for £5.5million'
Manchester City will sell Joey Barton to anyone prepared to pay
£5.5million, according to the troubled midfielder's agent.
Barton is facing the threat of legal action from team-mate Ousmane
Dabo following a training-ground bust-up and has been suspended by
the club for the remainder of the season.
It is the latest episode in a catalogue of controversy for the
24-year-old and agent Willie McKay insists City are ready to cut
their losses.
He said in The Sun: 'What's happened is very unfortunate. I have
spoken to City's chief executive, Alistair Mackintosh, and he told
me they want the price that is in Joey's contract.
'If City get the £5.5m they will be happy and Joey will be
sold.'
Everton agreed to match the asking price in January before Barton
decided to stay at City.
