STOKE have slapped a £30million price tag on Jack Butland's head, according to reports.
The England keeper is keen for a Premier League return to ensure his international future is safe.
And while the reports Potters chiefs will not stand in his way, they will allegedly refuse a cut-price deal.
Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have been linked with Butland, 26, capped nine times by England.
And if they want to secure his signature, they may be forced to break the English record for a goalkeeper.
Everton's Jordan Pickford currently holds the accolade after his £25m move from Sunderland, which could rise to £30m.
Butland has two years left on his Stoke contract, which hands the Potters an advantage in negotiations.
Nathan Jones is planning a rebuilding job over the summer as he aims to get the club back in the top-flight.
After drawing with table-topping Norwich, he said: “The owners here are superb and we will change this.
