Everton will have to pay a big transfer fee for Roberto Martinez - as the Wigan boss heads for the exit door.

Supremo Bill Kenwright is preparing for a cash wrangle with Latics chief Dave Whelan as the Spanish coach has no fixed compensation figure in his contract.

Martinez will tell Whelan early this week that he wants to move but the veteran chairman won’t allow him to go without a fight - or a pay-off.

The Wigan boss is on a roll-on contract so Whelan holds the upper hand in negotiations over him when Everton come calling.

Whelan may want as much as £5million for Martinez. He paid Swansea handsomely for him after picking up a huge fee for Steve Bruce.

The hard-bargaining Wigan owner has said Martinez can go with his blessing, but that will not stop him asking Everton for serious cash.

Martinez is likely to take two key members of staff - number two Graeme Jones and chief scout Kevin Reeves - so the move will be expensive.

Kenwright got nothing from Manchester United when David Moyes left and taking Martinez will put a hole in the club’s transfer kitty.

Whelan wants the cash to give to the next manager to swell his funds in his quest to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Sorted in 48 hours. Three in running. Martinez and Weir front runners. Malky is a bluebird with Fire and Passion in his soul.
