da gbg bet： Everton are set to make a move for Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry before the close of the transfer window, according to the Daily Telegraph.
da apostaganha： However the Toffees face a problem with regards to the midfielder’s substantial wage packet.
Barry has been told he is free to leave the Etihad this summer having fallen further down the pecking order following the arrival of £35million midfielder Fernandinho.
Barry was left out of City’s opening match day squad of the season, and is desperate for a move that will guarantee him first team football ahead of the next summer’s World Cup.
Everton are keen to agree a loan deal for the 32-year-old, but are well aware they are unable to match the midfielder’s current £100,000 a week wages.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the midfielder, with Arsene Wenger looking for experienced cover for his midfield.
Arsenal would more likely look towards completing a permanent deal for the England midfielder, who has just one year remaining on his current contract, although it is thought Everton remain in the driving seat.
Meanwhile City captain Vincent Kompany is set to miss the opening month of the new season, after limping off with a groin injury in the second half of his side’s 4-0 win over Newcastle on Monday night.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini initially said the injury would keep his captain out of action for two weeks, although there are now fears the Belgian will be ruled out until after the international break next month.
