everton And ipswich town OH Leuven defender Rogerio is one of several European suitors for Nyakosi.
Foot Mercato report that a raft of sides are showing interest in the 22-year-old centre-back thanks to his performances in Belgium.
Everton and Ipswich in the mix
Rogerio Nyakosi is enjoying a ‘remarkable comeback’ in Belgium after ‘unofficially’ leaving Olympique de Marseille in January 2025, the website reveals.
He is now seen as one of Europe’s most promising defenders and as a result, is poised to become a key figure in the summer transfer window.
RC Strasbourg and Olympique Lyonnais are pushing hard for his signature, but they are not alone. Several German and English clubs are also in the mix, while Marseille have a buy-back clause they can also use.
Everton and Ipswich Town are the two English sides named in the report. He has focused on the defender. Liverpool had shown interest earlier also Which the defender was curious about.
He has been described as a defender who is ‘formidable in duels’, ‘also dominant in the air’ and ‘particularly technically talented’. He is also strong on the ball and enjoys excellent passing ability in the high line. In other words, he is an ideal modern center back.
€8m asking price
Their change ‘has whetted the appetite’, while OH Leuven would want at least €8m from any sale. This is a 10x profit on their original purchase.
Everton and Ipswich fans are in droves. These include Feyenoord, Augsburg, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen. FM’s own information is that Strasbourg and Lyon could also be added. The French pair have already made inquiries.
Marseille could get him back for €6m this summer. This is a section that can prove to be a very smart addition to the core sales.
But the final decision will remain with the player. It remains to be seen whether he wants to return to the club where it all started, or move elsewhere.
