  Stoke slap £20m price tag on 'not for sale' defender Ryan Shawcross
  

  Ryan Shawcross will set Manchester City, Liverpool or Tottenham back £20m if Stoke decide to sell him.

  

  Should I stay or should I go? But Ryan Shawcross will cost somebody £20m

  Potters boss Tony Pulis has slapped the staggering price tag on the 22-year-old in a bid to stave off any offers for the central defender who has attracted interest from the Champions League-chasing trio.

  Pulis, who paid Manchester United just £1m for Shawcross in 2007, told the Daily Star: 'We have made it quite clear that he is going nowhere and we were delighted when Ryan signed a new deal late last year.

  'He is an exceptionally talented young lad who has an important part to play at this football club.'

  Shawcross returns for tonight’s Premier League clash with Fulham after a one-match suspension.

  Except for Manchester United as they can invoke the buy back clause.
