everton Sporting Clube de Portugal are again showing interest in right-back Georgios Vagiannidis.
A report said that Everton are one of the options on the table for the 24-year-old, who could be signed for at least €10m.
Everton's interest revived
The newspaper reports that the Greek right-back could leave Sporting this summer because he is 'lacking playing time' at the club.
Although he has publicly expressed his intention to stay and attempt to establish himself, his continued presence in the team has not yet been confirmed.
Georgios Vagiannidis has made 32 appearances for Sporting this season, but his performances have failed to convince. As a result, they are willing to let Sporting go if they can recoup the money they spent last summer.
The defender joined from Panathinaikos in a €13m deal but is currently valued at €10m. Two parties in particular have inquired about the terms of the deal; Everton and Villarreal.
No official offer has been made yet, but both clubs have made inquiries. And, interestingly, both were interested in him even before he moved to Sporting last summer.
Everton need a right-back
Sport Witness covered those reports at the timeSporting won the race after Everton took the lead. Now he and Villarreal are back on the scene.
For his part, Georgios Vagiannidis has already rejected a return to Greece as he wants to establish himself with Sporting. But he would also be interested in trying his luck in a 'more competitive league'. The Premier League would certainly fit into that category.
Everton need at least one right-back this summer, the experiment of playing Jake O'Brien in this position is certainly at an end. Seamus Coleman has also moved on and Nathan Patterson could also go.
Reports in England have already linked them with a £10m move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It now appears that Sporting may also have a €10 million option on the table.
