Levy is aware Thomas Frank will need a larger squad to compete with the demands of the Champions League this season.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “I think City have always got a price.
“I think it’s safe to say they’re not friends, and I think City would be reluctant to deal with Spurs unless the price is what they want.”
