Report: Everton keen on French defender, but face competition from Inter Milan
Everton are interested in signing the Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo. As per Sport (via Sportwitness), Everton are very keen on the defender. Barcelona have already received offers of around €25m for the player and it will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. Everton could certainly use someone like him next season. They need to tighten up at the back and Todibo has the talent to succeed in the Premier League. He was outstanding against Inter Milan in the Champions League this season and he has impressed during his loan spell at Schalke as well. Barcelona are unlikely to use him anytime soon and therefore a sale might be on the cards this summer. The Catalan giants could use him to raise some cash for this summer’s transfer window. Everton have the means to afford the ...

Report: Liverpool in pole position to land Ancelotti-target as he turns down Everton move
According to Calciomercato, Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly is not keen on joining Everton despite manager Carlo Ancelotti’s desire to reunite with him.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been linked with the Napoli star, with the Magpies said to be willing to offer him €12 million-a-year, but their inability to provide Champions League football rules them out. ...
Will Premier League with no fans be worth the wait?
The Premier League is adamant that it can overcome huge logistical challenges to get players back on the pitch during the coronavirus crisis but has long since accepted there will be no fans in the stadiums. English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke became the latest senior figure to admit this week that social-distancing guidelines make it impossible for supporters to congregate in stadiums “any time soon”. The drive behind the Premier League’s “Project Restart” is the attempt to avoid having to pay back millions in TV revenue. Clubs could reportedly miss out on £762 million ($946 million) for failing to complete this season alone. According to UEFA’s latest European Club Footballing Landscape report, just 13 percent of the Premier League’s revenue comes from gate receipts. Englan...

Cakir has done well in the Turkish league this season and he might be keen on a step up this summer. However, a move to Liverpool might not make sense for him. Liverpool have Alisson as their number one and the Brazilian is probably the best keeper in the world right now. Cakir will struggle to get game time at Anfield. Meanwhile, Pickford has been inconsistent at Everton and Cakir could really push him for the starting berth. A move to Everton...

Sankoh will be hoping to follow a similar path to the first team if he joins the Scottish giants. Sankoh is yet to sign professional terms with Stoke and Celtic will be able to sign him for a nominal compensation fee. It will be intere...
Report: Everton handed boost in their pursuit of €50m attacker as other suitors back out
Everton have been linked with the Napoli winger Hirving Lozano for a while now. According to Calciomercato (via Sportwitness), the Toffees are the only club after the Mexican right now. Napoli want to recoup most of the €50m they paid for Lozano and the other suitors like Sevilla think the transfer would cost them too much. If that is true, this is certainly a boost for Everton.

Apparently, Carlo Ancelotti really wants to sign the player and that has kept Everton in the running despite the other parties backing out of the chase. Lozano is a top-quality attacker and if he can regain his confidence, he could make a big difference for Everton in the final third. The...
Report: Serie A giants in talks with super agent to engineer Everton exit for striker
According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia), AS Roma are engaging super agent Mino Raiola to help bring Everton striker Moise Kean back to Serie A this summer following his struggles in the English Premier League. The Italy international moved to Goodison Park from Juventus for an initial £29 million last summer, but has scored just once in 26 appearances for the Toffees and is out of favour in manager Carlo Ancelotti’s pecking order. Kean scored seven goals in five starts over the course of 16 Serie A games for the Old Lady last term, and he has also been linked with Inter Milan as a return back home could appeal to him. The 20-year-old still has over four years left on his Everton contract and it remains to be seen if the club will be willing to let him go a...
