Roma have named their price for Manchester City target Marquinhos - and have already lined up his replacement.
City are in the market for a new centre back and have been linked with a move for the precocious 19-year-old.
But they face competition from both PSG and Barcelona who have also targeted the Brazilian, who arrived in Rome from Corinthians last summer.
The Serie A side paid just £3.9m for him and now AS have claimed that Roma have slapped a £23m price tag on him just 12 months later.
That fee, however, should not put off the trio of clubs, who could now make their move.
And Roma think a summer departure is so likely that they are ready to usurp Tottenham in the race to land teenage Croatian defender Tin Jedvaj.
The Italian side are understood to have agreed a £4.3m deal to sign him from Dinamo Zagreb.
