Everton youngster Ross Barkley is set to become the most expensive teenager in English football.
The Mail on Sunday says Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have all made known their interest in Everton's midfield sensation Ross Barkley.
He is seen by some as an even better prospect than another Goodison Park product, Wayne Rooney, and is set to top the £25.6m United paid for the then 18-year-old seven years ago.
Although Everton will fight to hang on to Barkley, who is not 18 until December, their dire financial situation has made them vulnerable to big offers. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation.
One top representative said: "I thought Stevie Gerrard was the best kid in his position that I've ever seen, but Barkley is as good. There's no doubt he is going to be a top player."
