According to Jamie Jackson of the Guardian, after seeing an initial £18 million offer rejected, City are ready to return with a new bid for the Northern Ireland international. However, the Manchester outfit are said to be wary of being "held to ransom" for the former Manchester United man.
"At 29, Evans will have little or no sell-on value and, while City recognise it is an inflated market, the club will switch to other options should West Brom demand what they believe is an unrealistic price," Jackson reported.
It's added an offer of around £25 million with further incentives may be enough to convince the Baggies to cash in on their captain.
