Manchester City reportedly place a £30m price tag on the head of out-of-favour goalkeeper Joe Hart, who has been linked to Liverpool, Everton and Sevilla.

Manchester City have reportedly placed a £30m asking price on goalkeeper Joe Hart this summer.

Hart has been the undisputed number one at the Etihad Stadium for the past six seasons, but Pep Guardiola's arrival has seen the England international fall down the pecking order.

Guardiola insists that the 29-year-old is free to leave the club if he is not willing to fight for his place, having started both games so far this season on the bench behind Wilfredo Caballero.

The likes of Liverpool, Everton and Sevilla have been linked with a move for Hart, but The Sun reports that City are looking for £30m for the shot-stopper.

A loan move has also been mooted, though, and is thought to be the preferred option for the interested clubs.
