EX-SPURS star Kieran Trippier will cost £20million if Premier League clubs want to bring him back to England.
The right-back, 29, joined Atletico Madrid last summer for an initial fee of £20m.
But after impressing in LaLiga, teams back home have their eye on him for next season.
The England defender has checked out potential new homes in his native north-west ahead of an eventual return.
Old club Burnley would love to have him back.
But his price tag looks certain to be a stumbling block in a potential return.
An inquiry into betting allegations against Trippier will also have to be settled before a move can progress anywhere.
The right-back revealed he decided to leave Spurs last summer in a bid to play more often – and keep his place in the England squad where competition is intense.
He told the Burnley Express: “I needed to be playing as high as I can for as long as I could.
“There’s me, Kyle Walker, Trent, Wan Bissaka, Reece James, Max Aarons is coming through and Kyle Walker-Pieters, who is a quality player.
“There is a lot of competition, but I’ve got to focus on myself and focus on my own game and hope my performances stand out.”
