It was reported yesterday by LancsLive that Blackpool want Crewe Alexandra to reduce their asking price for Owen Dale at the end of his loan spell next month.
The winger arrived at Bloomfield Road with a broken foot and so the move was never made permanent, but the Seasiders are looking to confirm the deal when the window opens as he has returned to full fitness.
The reported future fee for Dale is £500,000.
