everton And brighton and hove albion Both are interested in making a move for Torino midfielder Cesare Casadei this summer.

tuttosport The report adds that Everton and Brighton are keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old ahead of a possible move this summer.

watching everton and brighton

The newspaper reports that Cesare Casadei’s performances in his first full season in Turin did not go unnoticed in England.

The Italian joined Torino from Chelsea last summer in a €13m deal and has been a regular for the Serie A team this season, making 33 appearances in the league and scoring six goals.

A number of clubs continue to keep an eye on him following his performances for Leicester City in 2023, when he spent the season on loan from Chelsea.

Everton and Brighton are now at the front of the queue and are ‘closely monitoring’ his development ahead of the summer transfer window. Sport Witness covered a report Everton was also a possible destination in March.

Torino opposed the sale

It appears that this monitoring will continue for now. However they will find reluctant sellers in Torino.

The Italian side appear unwilling to part ways with the midfielder easily. They invested €13m to acquire Casadei last summer and consider it a key part of their technology project. They will not sell unless they receive ‘particularly important offers’ for the midfielder.

The plan at the moment is for him to remain at the club and continue his development with them. TuttoSport made no mention of Casadei’s thoughts on the move, but he was happy to return to Italy last year after his difficult spell at Chelsea.

Then again, Brighton and Everton may have some explaining to do. At the moment, it appears they are doing nothing more than monitoring the situation and considering a move. But nonetheless, Casadei’s name is on the list after impressing in his first season at Torino.

everton Have previously tried to sign Bologna’s Emil Holm and may get another chance.

The last 12 months have been disappointing for the right-back. He was loaned to Juventus in January after inconsistency in the first half of the campaign in the Rossoblu.

Things did not change in Turin, as injury concerns plagued him. He played only seven times in Serie A and is expected to return to Bologna after the Old Lady decided against a permanent deal.

sports witness Previously covered how Everton tried to sign him in January. He adopted a formal attitude but the old woman beat him at the window for a long time.

Now efforts are on to find a new club.

frustration is rising

remaining steps Report about possible outgoing from Bologna. They have failed to qualify for Europe, meaning the list is missing some important players.

As things stand, Holm is one of the more unwanted players. Bologna are confident he will return to them and his ‘agents are working’ to find a new club.

A move to the Premier League is seen as the top option. The outlet says Everton have previously tried to sign him and that option would appeal to the right-back in the summer.

Bologna are also somewhat desperate to sell. He believes the sale of Holm could reduce the need to move key players such as Jonathan Rowe or Santiago Castro, who could play a bigger role for them next season.

toffee goes risky

The last 12 months have been somewhat of an alarm bell when it comes to Holm signings. He continues to suffer from muscle injuries and is set to withdraw for the 2024/25 campaign. At that time he suffered four different injuries, which had a direct impact on his playing style.

The Sweden international is a type of full-back who was very active on the right side. He was consistently bombing forwards from deep, especially during his time at Spezia.

Now, a move would be a big risk for Everton. An initial loan deal could help the 26-year-old get back on track and prevent the Toffees from spending much up front.

everton Sporting Clube de Lisbonne are ‘very attentive’ to the situation around star Morten Hjulmand this summer.

There is a said report that Everton One of the sides who are monitoring the 26-year-old as he looks to leave Sporting this summer.

Everton ‘very attentive’

The newspaper actually covers Atletico Madrid’s growing interest in the Danish midfielder, explaining that their interest goes back to the January transfer window.

According to their information, Sporting are currently unaware of any offer from Atletico, nor are they aware of any upcoming offers. This comes after reports that Diego Simeone’s side were keen.

Now they know that Atletico are very fond of Morten Hjulmand, but they are not alone.

According to A Bola, Everton are also ‘very attentive’ to his situation and are ‘keeping an eye on him’ this summer. Unlike Atletico Madrid, this interest is very new.

While the Spanish side have been interested since the January transfer window, making an offer almost at the end of that window, Everton’s interest is much newer. The newspaper insists no sides have made an offer yet, but the Dane is eyeing Everton.

atlético everton

Unfortunately for him, if it comes down to a straight choice between Everton and Atletico, Hjulmand would prefer to go to Spain.

This is no surprise as Simeone’s team can offer Champions League football. Everton will not participate in any European competition after defeats in the final weeks of the season.

In fact, this move by Everton would be a bold move to say the least. Morten Hjulmand has been linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs over the past year.

Last summer it was Juventus, now it’s Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid are also reportedly keen. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been named as fans in the Premier League in successive reports.

But A Bola insists they are in the mix and keeping an eye on what is happening with the Sporting midfielder.

everton Georgios Vagiannidis has been handed a clear path over the situation at Sporting, with Portuguese newspapers reporting that the Toffees have already made an inquiry about the right-back.

The 24-year-old is not guaranteed a place in the Sporting team for next season. This comes after a first campaign that never quite convinced the Portuguese champions.

Georgios Vagiannidis made 32 appearances in all competitions last season, including 22 in Liga Portugal. In the league, he provided four assists in 864 minutes.

Those figures showed there was involvement, but Sporting clearly expected more after the big investment.

everton angle emerges

to ball Everton and Villarreal are both keeping tabs on the Greece international. Both clubs had already followed him before his move from Panathinaikos to Sporting.

Sporting paid €12.5m (£10.6m) to €13m (£11m) for Georgios Vagiannidis last summer. Now, if they can recover that investment they are willing to let him go.

Vagiannidis has made it clear that he would like to remain at Sporting and prove himself. However, that desire may not be enough.

A Bola also reports that no official proposal has yet reached Alvalade. Nevertheless, Everton and Villarreal have asked about the terms of the deal.

A return to Greece has already been rejected by the player. He either wants to succeed in sporting or try his luck in a more competitive league.

The loan is now on the table

Georgios Vagiannidis could also be ruled out of next season. In a recent reportA Bola says the scenario is being discussed within Sporting.

The idea would be to give him more regular minutes and allow him to return more mature. Sporting still believe he has the qualities to develop.

However, the picture on the right is getting crowded. Ivan Fresneda is currently first choice, although there is also interest from England.

Fresneda’s late-season injury may have hindered his exit, as he missed the final nine games. Young Salvador Blopa is also expected to be a consistent part of the team next season.

This means Sporting is open to solutions. The player has rejected Greece, and there was already interest from England before his move to Portugal.

This gives Everton a potential opening, especially if Sporting decide a loan or sale is the cleanest way to move forward.

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.

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.

everton are back in the mix to sign Djuriko Davitashvili from AS Saint-Étienne in the summer.

Back in January, Sport Witness Covered claims from France Everton are entering the race to sign him.

That time, benfica were challenging Premier League sides but could not get a deal over the line.

The winger has enjoyed good performances with the Ligue 2 team, scoring 15 goals and providing five assists in 31 appearances.

His impressive performances have already attracted the attention of several European clubs

Everton is in competition with 5 other clubs

Foot-Sur7 It is now reported that six clubs are in the race to sign the Georgia international in the upcoming window.

This includes David Moyes’ team, Benfica, Olympiacos, AS Monaco, Lille and Besiktas. The outlet claims it is their own information and reports that these clubs are lining up to secure his services.

These six clubs are hoping that Saint-Étienne will continue in Ligue 2 so that they can snatch up Zuriko Davitashvili.

The French club finished third in Ligue 2 and faced OGC Nice in a two-legged playoff. The second phase will take place on May 29 and this deadline is crucial for the Toffees and the five other interested parties.

This is because the attacker’s supporters are eagerly waiting for his deadline to launch their bid. Of these six clubs, Lille has the advantage after achieving direct qualification for the Champions League.

Saint-Étienne is aware of the difficulty of retaining the 25-year-old without a return to Ligue 1.

In the event of a sale in the summer, the French club would demand at least €15m. The fee could be higher if they return to the top flight.

Everton, Benfica, Olympiacos, AS Monaco, Lille and Besiktas have all been reported to be interested in a fee to sign Davitashvili.

Contract, price and agent information

The Georgian has a contract until 2028, with the option of a further year, and is worth according to transfer marketIs €10m.

Georgian agency Jugeli Sports, owned by agent Giorgi Jugeli, is representing the winger.

everton There could be an opportunity to sign Artem Dovbek, as Roma look set to part ways with the striker.

The Ukraine international returned to action at the weekend against Lazio. It was his first appearance since the first week of January, as he had been absent for more than five months due to a thigh injury.

Although he did not score, he hit the post once and did enough to leave his mark in the match. Roma won 2–0 and were back in the Champions League.

This came just days after Everton was mentioned as a possible destination for the forward. sports witness Told how common ownership could help, the idea of ​​a move to the Toffees is still alive for Dovbeek.

Dovebeak is ready for the last game

solororama Report that despite his cameo on Sunday, Dovbić will leave Roma in the summer. Gian Piero Gasperini never came across as a fan, which led to this Link With Newcastle United last year.

It is believed the Ukraine international will take to the field for the last time in Roma colors next weekend. The Giallorossi have the chance to seal a return to the Champions League when they take on Hellas Verona. Dovbek should be involved but it will be his last time playing for Rome.

This presents an opportunity for Everton, who need to make a ‘concrete offer’ to agree a deal. Roma already have plans to use the money received from his sale, making him a prime candidate to leave in the summer.

Everton signing him before the end of June would help Roma in their UEFA FFP fight.

Roma’s attacking problems have already been solved with the arrival of Donyale Malen. This makes Dovbeek a back-up who is no longer needed by the club.

Our Opinion: The deal should be cheap

Roma paid a base fee of €30.5m for the striker in 2024 as he signed a five-year deal. As a result, Dovbeek weighs less than €20m in the Giallorossi’s accounts.

This suggests Everton could make a deal for just over €20m.

While Beto has found form for the Toffees in recent weeks, it remains to be seen whether he has a future on Merseyside. Dovebeak can serve as an efficient replacement and may even prove to be an upgrade if he settles in well. He has put in very impressive performances for Verona and has scored 20 times in all competitions, even during the clash in Rome.

Federico Gatti is close to a Juventus exit and it could be positive for him everton And Aston Villa.

In the last few months, sports witness The defender’s situation has been monitored closely. There has been increased interest from the English side, especially as Luciano Spalletti does not see him as a key player.

Despite returning from injury in December, he has started just once in Serie A this year. In the last three league games, the centre-back has been on the field for just four minutes in total.

Now, Gattis is determined to get game time and has made a big decision about his future.

confident about player selection

gazzetta dello sport It appears that Gatty wants to leave the Old Lady.

He is one of the most loved players in the current team, but the player does not want to waste his best years on the bench. The Italian feels he can offer more and is now looking for a new destination.

Türkiye is interested in this but it does not seem to be its priority.

English clubs remain in the picture

tuttosport Provide more details today. There are mentions of interest from Aston Villa and Everton, with Juventus keen to part ways with the 27-year-old.

They are not considered suitable for spalletti and are viewed as capital gains that can be used to sign upgrades. That’s why it would be better to ‘sell him for €25m’.

Gatti will be a reliable squad player

Even if the centre-back wants regular football, he may not have the technical ability to play every game in the Premier League.

Both Aston Villa and Everton could use him as a valuable team player.

Gatti can also play on either flank at centre-back. Under Igor Tudor, he was also a regular in the wide centre-back role.

A fee of €25m is unlikely to be a problem for Aston Villa or Everton. Unai Emery and David Moyes are both considered pragmatic, who will play to Gatti’s strengths.

everton There has been no offer yet for Venezia midfielder Issa Doumbia, a fact Sporting Clube de Portugal wants to take advantage of.

record And to ball Both report on the Defenders today. The two newspapers say Sporting are making a move to secure the 22-year-old before the Premier League season begins.

Everton’s interest in Doumbia

The record states that Sporting has shown ‘readiness’ in completing the contract with the Venezia star. The Lions are aware of the existence of competitors, mainly from England. Thus, they want to ensure the signing as soon as possible.

However, this is proving difficult as Venezia wants to take advantage of the fact that there are multiple interested parties.

Italians know Issa Doumbia too Is being targeted by Newcastle, Everton and Brentford. They want to use it to help ‘fill their coffers with as large a sum as possible’.

Doumbia, for his part, would be keen on a move to Sporting. He wants to follow in the footsteps of many players who developed at the club and then achieved great progress in Europe.

Toffee needs to move soon

One said the same thing. According to their information, Issa Doumbia is a priority for Sporting this summer.

There are going to be new talks for them in the coming days. However, his initial €15m asking price is set to rise due to interest from England.

According to the newspaper, both Everton and Newcastle are offering ‘strong competition’ for the midfielder. Their interest could push his valuation closer to €20m this summer. However, neither party has yet initiated negotiations with Venezia.

This gives Sporting an advantage that they want to exploit. They have already begun negotiations and are awaiting the signing of the midfielder on a five-year deal. He is also confident about going to Portugal.

But the Premier League is also keen and might be able to tempt him. However, Everton and others need to make an offer first.

newcastle And everton Venezia are the latest Premier League club to be linked with midfielder Issa Doumbia. His arrival in the race is already starting to change the financial picture surrounding the deal.

The 22-year-old has been one of the big stories of Venezia’s promotion-winning season. Doumbia has now reached 10 goals and five assists in 38 games. He started 37 of those matches and established himself as one of Serie B’s most productive midfielders.

That look has already attracted everyone’s attention brentford And bournemouth In recent weeks. Now, according to Portuguese newspaper to ballNewcastle and Everton have also emerged as clubs following the situation closely.

And the effect is immediate. Venezia has reportedly begun raising the asking price even higher.

Market changes as Newcastle and Everton enter the race

Sporting remains the most advanced club in the conversation. The Portuguese side are preparing for the departure of both Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita. Doumbia has been identified internally as a priority target for their midfield rebuild.

An Bola reported that Sporting have already prepared a five-year contract for the player until 2031, complete with defined salary terms and an €80 million (£68.5 million) release clause.

However, with the arrival of more English clubs things started to get complicated.

The report states that Venezia had initially worked with a minimum figure of €15m (£12.8m), but with Newcastle and Everton entering the picture expectations have now risen to closer to €20m (£17.1m).

Of course this is not surprising. The Premier League’s involvement alone escalates the conversation exponentially. This is especially true when the player is 22, scoring goals from midfield and coming off a promotion campaign.

Sporting is still trying its hardest

Despite increasing interest from the Premier League, Sporting is still described as the most committed club to secure a deal.

The Portuguese side is expected to hold another round of talks with Venezia in the coming days. They are trying to protect their profits before the market becomes crowded.

Doumbia’s contract with Venezia runs until June 2029, further strengthening the Italian club’s position. And after achieving promotion to Serie A and then winning the Serie B title, Venezia is under no pressure to rush a sale.

The more clubs now join the race, the easier it will be for Venezia to push the price upward.

everton AS Roma are interested in a potential deal for striker Artem Dovbyk this summer, as his future at Roma remains in doubt.

Roma Giallorosa report That the ‘track to Everton’ will be alive for the Ukrainian striker this summer.

Everton introduced ‘special solution’

According to their information, Everton could offer the Italian side a ‘special solution’ given the shared ownership under the Friedkin Group.

Everton will consider loaning the striker until the end of next season. This will allow the 28-year-old to get back to his ‘best physical condition’ and basically rebuild himself after a tough campaign.

It would also give Everton the third striker that David Moyes wants this summer, without spending too much of their budget on a signing. And the relationship between the two clubs, which have yet to transfer any players, could facilitate transfers for all.

However there may be competition. Roma Giallorosa also reported that Napoli are among the clubs most interested in Dovbek. They had already asked about him during the January transfer window.

His profile is one that sporting director Giovanni Manna considers ‘very pleasant’. He continues to monitor the situation around him ahead of the next season.

€20m offer from Napoli

The belief is that they could return with an offer of around €20m in the coming weeks. Keeping in mind financial fairness and the need to make capital gains by June 30, Roma will consider^th.

Such a cash offer would be even more favorable than Everton’s loan offer, at least in terms of the books. But it would also mean directly strengthening the squad that Roma are chasing in Serie A. There is only a three-point gap between fifth-placed Napoli and second-placed Juventus.

This is something that Roma will have to consider in the coming weeks. Do they prefer a straight sale to Napoli or, use their relationship with Everton in the hope that Artem Dovbyk will re-establish himself in the Premier League?

everton, Sunderland And brighton and hove albion Everyone has been chasing CA Osasuna’s Enzo Boyomo before the summer.

The 24-year-old’s development and form caught the attention of the Premier League last year alone.

At that time, we Covered claims from Spain Interest from Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, but no negotiations took place.

Fast forward to May and Everton, Sunderland and Brighton are now looking at centre-backs.

PL trio showed interest

The latest claims state that three English clubs are already showing interest in Enzo Boyomo.

newspaper of navaraCA Osasuna’s local newspaper report that their sources confirm that Everton, Sunderland and Brighton are all interested.

The 24-year-old has a €25m release clause and few of these clubs are willing to pay that fee. However, the report does not specify who among Everton, Regis Le Bris’s team and the Seagulls are prepared to offer that future.

Apart from the Premier League trio, Ipswich Town and Como are also in the mix.

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Spain Ipswich Town sent a scout to follow the defender live.

The Championship side have secured promotion to the top flight, and the newspaper’s state scout officer watched Boyomo in action against Barcelona again last weekend. The Cameroon international is also on the Serie A team’s radar.

Osasuna are aware of the interest of these clubs and the ‘fear’ that the player could leave in the next window. Therefore, the La Liga side is working on finding his potential replacement.

Boyomo can only leave if interested parties pay his full release condition. Another newspaper, As, Also report that a €25m clause needs to be activated for the summer sale.

everton And fulham Yet the Premier League could see the return of a familiar face, with Hugo Oliveira now being tipped for a future in England following his work at Famalicão.

the portuguese coach is building positive momentum In his first senior role. That progress did not go unnoticed in England, where he had previously worked in the coaching structures at both clubs, as well as Watford and Hull City.

There is a growing feeling that Oliveira has the tools to make the leap to the Premier League. And that scene is coming from nowhere.

Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic, who worked closely with Oliveira at Benfica, has strongly endorsed the 41-year-old’s potential.

Full support from Matic

Nemanja Matic doesn’t hold back when talking about Hugo Oliveira to Portuguese outlet game. The Serbian midfielder provided a detailed and personal account of the coach’s qualities, drawing inspiration from their time together as teammates and later as opponents.

“Our relationship has always been incredible. He is an excellent person, a very good professional and given his experiences I am not surprised he is doing such a good job.”He said.

“I’m really happy with the career he’s building. As a friend, it’s always good to be around him because he’s a very positive person. You never hear anything negative from him.”

Matic also highlighted how important Oliveira was at the beginning of his career, especially during his adaptation period in Portugal.

“When I was with him at Benfica, he helped me a lot to adapt. At that time, I didn’t speak Portuguese and he was a great support to me because he spoke English very well.”he explained.

“When I was a young player, he was very important in giving me advice on what I could improve in my game and what I could expect. He had a lot of experience, gave great advice and was a great support.”

Even after their time together ended, the relationship continued, including them facing each other in England.

“As rivals, we never stopped getting along.”

Matic also highlighted characteristics that go beyond coaching practices and tactics.

“In addition to his professionalism, he reads people very well and has all the capabilities to achieve great things.”

Hugo Oliveira’s trajectory points upward

Hugo Oliveira arrived in Famalicão in a difficult situation. At the time the club was struggling and expectations were limited.

However, results improved rapidly. The team is now pushing to make it to European competition, which would be a huge achievement for the club. This progress is an important part of the story unfolding in Portugal.

“In the beginning, when he arrived in Famalicão, it was not easy, given the situation he was in. But then the work he did became clear to everyone.”

Despite interest from other clubs, Oliveira recently had his contract renewed. This suggests stability for the time being, but also underlines how quickly his reputation is growing.

The return of the Premier League is already under discussion

Hugo Oliveira’s previous experiences at Everton and Fulham give this story a natural Premier League angle. He already understands the environment and demands of English football.

Matic believes a comeback is not only possible, but likely at some point.

“He worked with many coaches and now he is the main. I see him coaching in the Premier League, why not?”He said.

He’s got the ability, he’s a very intelligent guy and I’m not surprised by what he’s doing. “I’m not surprised and I really believe he’ll go far.”

Hugo Oliveira is obviously still early in his managerial career, but his work at Famalicão has made him one of the more interesting Portuguese coaches outside the traditional top clubs.

and for everton And fulhamThe connection is already there. That familiarity may be relevant if the opportunity arises.

For now, Oliveira continues to make his case in Portugal. If the results are good and interest increases then a move to England would not be too far.

Everton’s The owners, the Friedkin Group, are confident that they have made the necessary arrangements for Everton and Roma to compete in the same competition next season.

Corriere dello sport report Today on ‘Leak’ from Roma. He confirmed that the US group has ensured that there will be no potential conflict.

Roma don’t worry

The Italian newspaper reports that Roma are not worried about a potential multiple-ownership issue with Everton ahead of next season.

According to leaks from the club, the owners have already analyzed all possible scenarios. He is confident that there will be no problems or negative consequences for the Roma.

The Friedkin Group, in fact, is confident that both teams will eventually be able to participate in the same European competitions without any problems.

The potential issue is that Everton and Roma are both currently in contention for Europe next season. The former focus more on the Europa League and Conference League, while the Italians emphasize the Champions League.

rules prohibit two clubs under the same ownership By participating in the same European competition. The club that finished higher in its domestic league will remain in the tournament for which it qualified.

The main issue for Everton and Roma is Dan Friedkin. He is chairman of both clubs, while there are also corporate ties between the two through ‘structures’ controlled by the Friedkin Group.

back issues

UEFA has addressed similar cases before, such as Manchester City with Crystal Palace and Lyon, or Verona.

In some situations, the so-called ‘blind trust’ system was used. It is designed to guarantee the managerial independence of the clubs involved.

There is no indication that the Friedkin Group intends to do the same with Roma or Everton. But the message in Italy is that Roma are not in danger of being punished.

Friedkins, for his part, is probably waiting to see how the season pans out in Italy and England before announcing his plans.

With both facing fierce competition in the race for Europe, there is no rush to declare what they have done. But the Americans are confident they have a solution that will satisfy UEFA.

everton Juventus may be able to secure long-term target Aidan Zhegrova on loan this summer as Juventus look to move the winger somehow.

Tuttosport, relayed by tutomercatowebProvide information today. The newspaper reports that several players will leave Juventus this summer, regardless of how the season ends.

Juventus plan to exit

According to their information, manager Luciano Spalletti will play a key role in the transfer in pushing Juventus forward. And he is already busy planning to reshape his squad over the summer.

One of those included in the list is Aidan Zegrova. He has failed to impress since arriving in the summer and Juventus want a release.

And loan can be made available for his convenience. According to Tuttosport, he and several others, such as Lois Openda, will leave ‘either on loan or via transfer’.

This should be of interest to Everton. Reports have linked him with a move to Aidan Zhegrova for months.

Everton hope for arrivals

The Toffees are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window as they plan a big spending spree under David Moyes. Indeed, they avoided spending in the January transfer window so they could focus on the summer.

One or two other wingers are likely to be on their list. However that will depend on what happens with Jack Grealish. If Everton pay to sign him permanently, a loan deal for Zhegrova would be attractive.

Last report on their interest, from Februaryinsisted they were too far back in the mix for the 27-year-old. Now that loans are possible, interest must have increased.

Of course, it all depends on the money available to David Moyes this summer and which position he considers most urgent. But a loan deal for Zegrova could prove to be a low-cost replacement for what made Moyes so successful in his first spell at Everton.

nottingham forest And everton Juventus are in the picture to sign Federico Gatti in the summer.

On 20 February, Khel Witness Covered claims from Italy Nottingham Forest, West Ham United and Lyon are in a triangular battle for the 27-year-old.

Nottingham Forest and Everton keen

tuttosport There is now a report on AC Milan’s interest in Juventus’ Federico Gatti for the summer.

The Rossoneri had expressed interest last summer but refused to meet Juventus’ €25m price tag. Massimiliano Allegri already trained him at the Turin club and hence, Milan will happily own him after this season.

Other clubs, ‘notably’ Nottingham Forest and Everton, are pursuing him. In fact, both English clubs are ‘very interested’ in the centre-back and made attempts last summer.

‘The Premier League is not giving up’, Tuttosport headlined and reported.

Galatasaray are also in the mix and are ready to make an approach to secure his services. They have recently made contact and their representative is expected to travel to Italy to hold direct talks with Juventus.

With many fans ready to sacrifice the Old Lady defender if a significant bid comes in. There is no mention of the fee Juve are demanding or the amount required to convince them.

Contract, price and agent information

Federico Gatti will have four years left on his contract after this season and as per his value transfer marketIs €16m.

One Player’s agent, which primarily represents Italian players, represents the Juventus defender.

Everton are set to complete a permanent €23 million contract with Merlin Rohl after avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

football transfersrelaying information from kickerReport that a mandatory buyout clause for the 23-year-old is now ready to be activated.

Everton earns form transfer

According to the newspapers, Everton agreed a permanent deal for Merlin Rohl last summer When he joined on loan from SC Freiburg.

The Toffees paid an initial €2m loan fee, but also agreed a mandatory clause of €23m if they managed to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

That compulsion to buy has now started. Everton are currently 10^th On 47 points in the table; 16 points ahead of Tottenham in 18^th. With only five games remaining in the season, they are mathematically safe. Thus, the buyout clause for Rohal has now come into effect.

They will now be forced to pay an additional €23m for Rohl, despite him only appearing sporadically this season. Freyberg is just waiting for the money to come.

everton position question

Meanwhile, Everton will likely look back at a deal they regret. Marilyn Rohl arrived from Germany with a solid reputation. But he has barely featured under David Moyes this season.

While there have been impressive cameos, the Everton manager’s preferred midfield trio of Idrissa Gueye, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has meant Rohl has spent the majority of the season sitting on the bench.

Even Tim Iroegbunam and Harrison Armstrong appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Whenever he was given a chance, there were glimpses of talent, but it was very limited. €25 million for a midfielder who has made 358 appearances in a total of 12 minutes is certainly not ideal.

Whether he can carry on next season after a year of acclimatising in England remains to be seen. Either way, Everton will pay €23m for him at some point in the coming weeks.

Venezia’s Issa Doumbia is now attracting people’s attention everton And newcastle unitedHas attracted other British clubs before.

In December, sports witness Covered Celtic’s scouting mission for the midfielder. Southampton were also in the running, having made an offer to sign him last summer.

It was made very late in the window, leaving Venezia little time to sign a replacement. As a result, Doumbia remained in Venice and is now moving rapidly.

He has played 34 times in Serie B, scoring six times and assisting five times. It has been crucial for the Lagurani, who top the table and are on the verge of a return to Serie A.

This also means increased attention around Doumbia. Newcastle United and Everton are well into the race, with major Italian sides also keen.

Besiktas talks continue

New Venice – Go tutomercatowebLet’s see where the 22-year-old’s future may lie.

Newcastle United and Everton have ‘expressed interest’ in the Italian, with Inter Milan and Roma keeping a close eye on his development.

It doesn’t end there, as Besiktas are really working to land him. There is an agreement on individual terms between Doumbia and the Turkish side, with an offer of €15m already on the table from Venezia.

Talks are also ongoing between the two clubs, with Besiktas pushing to close a deal.

Meanwhile, the Venice club plans to use that money and strengthen their attack upon Doumbia’s departure.

Our Opinion: The deal is not done yet

It feels like an effort is being made to raise Doumbia’s profile, in order to attract as many clubs as possible. While Besiktas may be interested, a report Marco Conterio There is also no mention of Turkish clubs.

Furthermore, how Venezia’s season ends will define everything. They are three points clear at the top and could be pushed into the playoff zone.

That’s why Everton and Newcastle United should keep an eye on Doumbia. He boasts the ability to cover ground and adds unpredictability in the final third. Doumbia also places a strong emphasis on winning the ball back, making him a good fit for English football.

There is a ‘high percentage chance’ that Vitaly Mykolenko will everton Next season. If not, he will remain in the Premier League regardless.

sport express report on the Everton defender today with comments from ‘well-known’ Ukrainian journalist Ihor Tsyganik regarding the 26-year-old’s situation.

likely to stay at everton

Vitaly Mykolenko may extend his deal with Everton this summer and not look for a new club, Tsyganyak reported on his YouTube channel.

“As far as I understand, Vitaliy himself, and this is probably right, will in any case consider the option of Everton first,” He said.

“If not with Everton, then Premier League options. Mykolenko played quite a successful season. No matter what the fans say, he played quite consistently this season.

“It is worth noting that he has recovered from injuries suffered after the 2023/24 season when he went to the Euros, where he was still injured.

“This season he played more strongly. And I believe that Mykolenko will not go anywhere from the Premier League. I give a high percentage of probability that he will still be at Everton.”

Contract or Premier League move

according to transfer marketVitaly Mykolenko’s current deal at Hill Dickinson expires in 2027.

It was due to expire this summer, but Everton had the option to extend by one year. This appears to be an option they have chosen for the 26-year-old.

Now the question is what will happen next. David Moyes and his team would not want a player with only one year left on his contract.

Either they extend Mykolenko’s contract again with a new offer, or he is sold this summer to avoid leaving for free. As far as Tsyganik is concerned, it would be the former.

A report last month said He could be an option for Roma. However, as far as he is concerned in Ukraine, Mykolenko will remain on Merseyside.

Marseille, Real Betis and Getafe ready to sign evertonAdam Aznu in summer.

The Premier League team signed the left-back from Bayern Munich in July 2025 and he has struggled this season.

He has yet to appear for Everton in the league as David Moyes has largely left him on the bench, not including him in the squad on a few occasions.

The 19-year-old had to wait until January to make his Toffees debut. This resulted in their FA Cup defeat to Sunderland, and remains his only appearance for the Merseyside club to date.

Last October, Sports Witness broadcast news He seriously considered leaving Everton in the winter market.

The Everton man has no shortage of fans

Adam Aznu is going through a tough time at Everton, but that hasn’t stopped clubs from showing interest in him.

is according to Africa FootWho report the fullback’s profile appeals to Marseille, Real Betis and Getafe. Of these three, the Ligue 1 side is the ‘most consistent favourite’.

Marseille believe he can revive his career in France, while the La Liga pair are keeping a close eye. He has experience playing in Spain from his loan spell at Real Valladolid in 2025.

Spain-born Morocco international’s situation at Everton ‘opens the door’ to a summer transfer. David Moyes’ decision not to hand him minutes may encourage his supporters to submit a concrete proposal in the coming weeks.

Aznu desires to receive regular playing time next season and has interested parties. His priorities and Everton’s stance on sanctioning a move after this season are not yet clear.

Contract, price and agent information

The Moroccan will have three years remaining on his contract after this season. According to its value transfer market€7m and remains unchanged since his transfer to Everton.

Spanish agency Footfell ISM, headed by agent Alejandro Caamaño, is representing Adam Aznu.

It is unclear why Daniel Farke’s team could not complete the operation and are still keen on the striker. Everton have now joined the Elland Road club in the transfer chase.

The Bundesliga side had initially signed the 25-year-old on loan from Royal Union Saint-Gillois until July 2024. He scored 10 goals and 12 assists in his first season, convincing him to make his stay permanent.

This season, Amoura has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 27 matches. His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

David Moyes’s side are also interested and that’s all the newspaper has to say about the Toffees.

VfL Wolfsburg rejected Benfica’s €28m bid for Mohamed Amoura in the last window and are hoping to collect €40m. The Algeria international is now thought to be worth around €30m.

L’Equipe claims the German club are ‘ready to discuss’ his sale after this season.

In short, the front man is expected to change clubs and Leeds United and Everton are among the suitors. There is no mention of his preference in these two clubs.

Our Opinion: Price may fall further

Mohamed Amoura’s contract is until 2029, and transfer market He is worth €27 million. VfL Wolfsburg is now 17th in the table, four points behind 16th-place FC St. Pauli.

There are 18 clubs in the Bundesliga and the bottom two teams will be relegated to the second division. As things stand, Wolfsburg are in danger of relegation.

If this happens then its price is likely to fall further. Leeds United, Everton or any other club could take advantage of this and sign Amoura for less than €30m.

evertonInterest in defender Kevin Bouma is now likely to wane after he is ruled out of the rest of the season.

Record report on centre-back today And how interest has gradually waned following an injury suffered in February. This happened despite several approaches for him in the January transfer window.

long term injury

The newspaper reports that Kevin Bouma will not return from injury until next season. The Togolese centre-back has injured a right thigh muscle.

He has been out of action since February due to this problem and now the 23-year-old player will be out till the next season.

Before the injury, Bouma was establishing himself as a key player for GD Estoril Praia and attracting considerable attention. Reports in January indicated that there were unsuccessful approaches from Paris FC, Besiktas, Everton and Augsburg.

Sport Witness covered it at the time, This also includes this report which states that Everton It wouldn’t take a big offer to get the Defender.

Now that interest has gradually diminished due to his injury. But it may not disappear completely due to his contract situation.

Contract opens up transfer opportunities

Kevin Bouma’s current deal with the Portuguese side runs until 2028. This means he will enter the final two years of his contract with them this summer.

As always, it’s an issue. Ideally, it should sell this summer. its value, Which is worth €6m according to TransfermarktThis is also the highest ever. This is a good price for Estoril but for other clubs like Everton it is a profitable deal.

Of course, they will want to fully assess the injury before taking any action. But there is the possibility of a deal being struck this summer if they want.

A lot will depend on how Bouma returns from this extended absence. But having now ruled out a return this season, the focus may be on returning to fitness and reviving interest from January.

newcastle united Flamengo are keeping an eye on the midfielder Everton Araújo comes at a time when the Brazilian’s market value is rising rapidly, creating a more competitive landscape for Premier League clubs.

The 22-year-old has emerged as one of Flamengo’s key assets in recent months. earlier this year, West Ham kept him under close surveillance And internally it was valued at around £10.2m (€12m). However, the situation has changed since then.

report from brazil Indicated that the Bundesliga side are preparing to move closer to €20m (£17m), effectively setting a new benchmark for negotiations.

Meanwhile, Flamengo are working behind the scenes to strengthen their position. The club is considering a contract renewal to increase protective terms, as well as managing a complex ownership structure, with lower league side Volta Redonda holding 30% of the player’s economic rights.

All this forms the backdrop to Newcastle’s growing interest.

Newcastle United are in an increasingly competitive race

According to Brazilian outlet bolavipNewcastle are now one of the clubs closely analyzing Everton Araújo, with internal discussions ongoing regarding the feasibility of a move in the next transfer window.

Representatives of English clubs have been monitoring his performances in domestic and continental competitions.

The midfielder’s profile – combining physical presence with composure in possession – is considered to be suited to the demands of the Premier League.

opportunity to rise

His rise at Flamengo has been driven by both opportunity and performance. Injuries to key midfielders, including Eric Pulger and former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, resulted in places in the starting eleven.

Everton has taken advantage of this by performing consistently well, which has strengthened his position in the team.

Under head coach Leonardo Jardim, he has become a reliable option. The Portuguese manager has publicly praised his development, highlighting both his discipline and ability to play forward under pressure.

“He’s a guy I really like. I talked to him about not losing the ball, playing forward. He’s a model player who is successful in Europe. He has physical ability, he’s good in doubles. He was one of the most consistent players in the last few games,” the manager said ul.

Flamengo’s stance and rising valuation

Flamengo remains cautious about any potential sale. While the club recognizes the financial opportunity, they are also focused on maintaining a competitive team for the 2026 season.

Their recent market behavior supports that stance. A previous offer of €5 million (£4.3 million) from local rivals Grêmio was rejected, reinforcing their reluctance to negotiate lower than internal expectations.

Now, with figures of €20m (£17m) being discussed in Europe, the club see no reason to lower their demands. Instead, they are positioning themselves to maximize value, especially if multiple Premier League sides become involved.

What does this mean for Newcastle United

Newcastle United are entering a situation that is already developing. West Ham’s earlier valuation now looks conservative, the Bundesliga has raised the price cap, and Flamengo are preparing contractual safeguards to strengthen their hand.

For Newcastle, this means any serious move will require both speed and flexibility. The longer the situation, the higher the costs – and the more complex the negotiations will become.

everton Juventus winger Eden Zegrova will face competition from Besiktas this summer, who looks set to leave the Italian club.

Fanatic reports that black and white They have set their sights on the Juventus winger as they look for a new signing on the right wing. They are ready to part ways with Milot Rashika and want her replacement.

agents contacted

The Turkish outlet reports that Besiktas have contacted Zegrova’s agent about a move this summer. It is being seen as a ‘surprise move’ by the Super Lig club, and could put them ahead of Everton.

They have inquired with the player’s agents about the terms of the contract. This is the scope of talks and efforts so far. He further added that Zegrova is set to leave Juventus this summer after a difficult year in Turin.

According to the report, the Italian side believe their €14.3m investment last summer has not paid off tuttosport. They had high hopes for the former Lille star but his playing time under Luciano Spalletti has become increasingly limited.

Due to this, both the parties may separate this summer. Besiktas are certainly taking steps to take advantage of this.

Everton’s long-term interest

The interest from the Turkish side would potentially be bad news for Everton. The Toffees have been chasing Eden Zegrova for some time after being first linked End of the January transfer window.

It was later explained that this was David Moyes’ side. had adopted only a very timid attitude For a 27 year old. They now face potential competition from Besiktas, who have already spoken to the winger’s agents.

The Toffees now need to decide if they really want Zegrova or if their focus is elsewhere. This is likely to depend largely on whether they can find another deal for Jack Grealish.

But if they decide not to move quickly, they risk losing to Besiktas in the meantime. The Turkish side are apparently taking the first steps towards signing the Juventus flop this summer.

Sport Bild report on the winger today And how Colon is keeping Brighton at an arm’s length and waiting for other suitors to step forward.

According to their information, Brighton have made an offer of €35m plus €5m to sign El Mala before the summer. However, Cologne are refusing to budge from the €50m minimum valuation.

For now, there is no deal in sight and Brighton’s patience is being tested. Conversations are taking place behind the scenes.

desire for big transfer

The stance inside the colon is clear. That said, the sale of El Mala next summer is already included in the club’s financial plans.

Sports directors Thomas Kessler and Tim Steadten maintain active contact with clubs and agents across England. They know that selling El Mala is necessary to finance the next phase of their team’s plan.

Chelsea have shown interest but have not yet submitted a formal bid. Newcastle United attempted to initiate negotiations, but were rejected by the player’s entourage. He reportedly indicated a preference for Brighton.

The El Mala camp is sending mixed signals

While Said El Mala’s family have told Newcastle they are leaning towards Brighton, the situation behind the scenes is more nuanced.

In discussions with Colon, El Mala’s mother Sabrina, who is now representing him, has made it clear that he is open to other clubs. This is even though Brighton is the preferred destination.

The family will only consider Brighton’s offer if the Premier League reaches an agreement with Colon over a transfer fee. No pressure is being put on the German side. This stance keeps the door open to new bidders.

Everton and Fulham hoped

While Brighton have been unable to close the gap, other Premier League clubs are preparing to make moves. Everton, Brentford and Fulham are considered potential suitors.

It looks like they are ‘likely to join the bid’ for El Mala at some point. This could certainly happen if the current standoff continues.

Colon is in no hurry. They have tied El Mala to a deal until 2030 and it does not include a release clause. El Mala is considered a rare long-term asset, and they want a high fee for it.

A transfer saga is ready to go

Brighton remain top in terms of player preference, but their reluctance to pay €50m has created an opportunity.

As a result, Everton, Fulham and Brentford are now hidden in the background. Chelsea are still hovering, while Newcastle could also make a second attempt despite having their rejection rejected.

The battle for Saeed Al Malaa appears to be just beginning. Despite the clear preference for Brighton among his representatives, his agent is certainly leaving the door open for anything.

suspicious absence

Vitaly Mykolenko made an unexpected miss for Ukraine in the match against Albania on Tuesday evening.

The Everton defender was expected to start the game, having been an almost constant presence in the team since his debut in 2018.

Instead, he was dropped from the team and Bohdan Mykhailichenko started the games. After this Rebrov explained about the change.

“Unfortunately, he felt (something). He says he went to the doctors yesterday, but I didn’t know anything about it. And when we were making decisions with the main team, he said he was ready,” Ukraine manager explained.

“Unfortunately, he suffered this injury, but as far as I can see now, he says it is not that serious, and he has had 5 days off now. I am sure he will return to Everton in normal condition.”

Everton’s injury concerns

Everton will certainly be concerned about the situation given Vitaly Mykolenko’s role under David Moyes.

He is the first choice left-back under Scott, playing 84% of the time in the starting XI and enjoying the same percentage of minutes to date.

Losing him at this stage of the season, with European football at stake, would be a major problem for the Toffees.

They have Adam Aznoo as his backup, but he has barely featured this season. There is also the option of using Jarrad Branthwaite at left-back, which Moyes has also done this season.

The important thing will be to determine the extent of the injury. Mykolenko’s willingness to play suggests this is only a mild issue. This may give him time to recover as Everton will not play until April 11^th.

Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman has opened up about the moment he was sacked by Everton and the surprising emotion behind it.

In a new conversation with Agent Rob JohnsonThe Netherlands boss reflected on his short but eventful tenure at Goodison Park, revealing he had tears in his eyes when chairman Bill Kenwright broke the news.

“They called me King Koeman”

Ronald Koeman arrived at Everton in 2016 after impressive performances at Southampton, with Everton making big plans under Farhad Moshiri.

His first season was successful as he led Everton to seventh place, securing qualification for the Europa League.

That first year was a happy one, including a budding relationship with chairman Bill Kenwright.

“He was a lovely man,” Koeman says when Jensen starts talking about Kenwright.

“He lived in London, and once a month I’d go there by train to have lunch with Bill Kenwright and talk about Everton. They were really fun conversations. He always called me ‘King Koeman’ too. But in the second season, it wasn’t so much ‘King’ anymore.”

disaster of the second season

Despite a record-breaking summer spending of £140 million, things quickly unraveled in the Dutchman’s second season.

That second campaign was marked by an inability to integrate new expensive signings as well as replace star striker Romelu Lukaku.

Ronald Koeman was eventually sacked after a 5–2 defeat to Arsenal and a five-match winless run at that point. The responsibility fell on Bill Kenwright, who began to cry.

“He came into my office when he had to deliver the bad news. He had tears in his eyes because he had to fire me on Farhad’s behalf.” He added.

However, Koeman holds no grudges against Kenwright. “a great person.” Jensen completely agrees with this.

“Firing you was the stupidest thing they ever did. After that, it just went downhill,” He concluded.

Everton’s sliding doors moment

The dismissal of Ronald Koeman is certainly a turning point in Everton’s history. While his agent believes the decision was foolish, this is revisionism at its finest.

Everton were sinking under the Dutchman and looked destined for relegation that year, but ultimately finished 8th^th Under Sam Allardyce. This certainly suggests that Koeman was the problem at that point.

Rob Jensen clearly thinks Koeman could have turned things around, and it seems Bill Kenwright had a similar feeling. Everton fans are likely to disagree.

The status of Inter Milan wing-back Luis Henrique has been uncertain for months. Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Everton could once again target the Brazilian.

In January, sports witness Claims of interest from three clubs were covered, having made initial contact for the former Marseille player.

After identifying Ivan Perisic as a target, the Nerazzurri were ready for a sale. They also made a deal for Moussa Diaby but failed, leading to Louis Henrique staying at San Siro.

The versatile winger’s status is still very uncertain, with Inter giving hope to Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Everton.

Premature end to Luis Henrique’s Inter career

today’s corriere dello sport Is considering a possible exit from Inter in the summer. Denzel Dumfries is pushing for a transfer, with Carlos Augusto’s status also doubtful. Most prominently, it is Luis Henrique who could depart after failing to impress under Christian Chivu.

He believes the door will be open to clubs like Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Everton in the summer. Premier League clubs made contact in January, with the Cherries notably contributing up to €25m.

That fee could prove substantial at the end of the season, as it would give Inter enough money to sign Marco Palestra.

This has led to the Serie A leaders considering a move away from the wing-back, with Diaby also still a target.

Louis Henrique could be an asset in England

During his time at Marseille, the 24-year-old was seen as a reliable and hard-working winger option on the right side. His efficiency and ability to cover the ground were his main strengths. This has been visible at Inter but his weaknesses around the final ball have also been exposed in Italy.

In England, his work ethic could appeal to the likes of Everton, Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

Cherries have a player like Alex Jimenez in their team and Luis Henrique is also very much like him. Unai Emery has always been an admirer of players who are a threat in moments of counter-attack, Luis Henrique fits this role.

He has also aged quite well, has already got Toffee Tried to To sign him back in 2024.

Former Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has admitted he knew he was done for Everton when he signed Jordan Pickford.

This happened despite the confidence of manager Ronald Koeman at the time.

Stekelenburg Speaking on the Football According Podcast About Ajax and his experiences at Goodison Park.

ronald koeman faith

The goalkeeper initially moved to England with Fulham, but after playing actively during his first season his opportunities at Craven Cottage became limited.

He spent the second two years of his deal on loan before joining Everton for an undisclosed fee to reunite with former manager Ronald Koeman.

He was at Southampton and signed Maarten Stekelenberg on loan last season. This led to a relationship which Koeman was keen to continue at Everton.

Stekelenburg explained of that loan, “Their first-choice goalkeeper had a very serious knee injury.”

“He asked if I wanted to come and told me I would play every game until he was fit again. I did that, and I played 22 or 23 games in the Premier League before he was fit again.”

everton promise

That bond led to a promise; The pair will remain together in the summer, no matter where Koeman is.

“My relationship with Ronald was always very good,” he says.

“He then said: If I leave, I’ll take you with me. If I stay – I was on loan there – I’ll sign you permanently. He went to Everton, and I went with him.

“Sometimes you need managers in your career who help you. I signed a contract with Everton and played almost every game in the first year.”

jordan pickford arrival

However, football moves fast, and Everton’s ownership was moving quickly at the time. The club invested heavily in a new, long-term goalkeeper in 2017, signing Jordan Pickford from Sunderland for €28.5m.

Maarten Stekelenberg immediately understood the implications of that move.

“You’re working with the owners there, and they bought Jordan Pickford, England’s biggest goalkeeping talent at the time, for a massive £40 million. Then you know what’s going to happen.”

Fortunately for Everton, it proved to be a smart investment. Pickford has proven to be one of the best In the Premier League, most Everton fans were comfortable accepting that he had kept them in England’s top flight.

Perhaps that will soften the blow somewhat for Stekelenberg, who doesn’t seem to have any outward unhappiness about how things turned out anyway.

He spent the second two years of his deal on loan before joining Everton for an undisclosed fee to reunite with former manager Ronald Koeman.

He was at Southampton and signed Maarten Stekelenberg on loan last season. This led to a relationship which Koeman was keen to continue at Everton.

Stekelenburg explained of that loan, “Their first-choice goalkeeper had a very serious knee injury.”

“He asked if I wanted to come and told me I would play every game until he was fit again. I did that, and I played 22 or 23 games in the Premier League before he was fit again.”

everton promise

That bond led to a promise; The pair will remain together in the summer, no matter where Koeman is.

“My relationship with Ronald was always very good,” he says.

“He then said: If I leave, I’ll take you with me. If I stay – I was on loan there – I’ll sign you permanently. He went to Everton, and I went with him.

“Sometimes you need managers in your career who help you. I signed a contract with Everton and played almost every game in the first year.”

jordan pickford arrival

However, football moves fast, and Everton’s ownership was moving quickly at the time. The club invested heavily in a new, long-term goalkeeper in 2017, signing Jordan Pickford from Sunderland for €28.5m.

Maarten Stekelenberg immediately understood the implications of that move.

“You’re working with the owners there, and they bought Jordan Pickford, England’s biggest goalkeeping talent at the time, for a massive £40 million. Then you know what’s going to happen.”

Fortunately for Everton, it proved to be a smart investment. Pickford has proven to be one of the best In the Premier League, most Everton fans were comfortable accepting that he had kept them in England’s top flight.

Perhaps that will soften the blow somewhat for Stekelenberg, who doesn’t seem to have any outward unhappiness about how things turned out anyway.

Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium may not be like Goodison Park yet, but it’s getting there. The 3-0 win over Chelsea last weekend proved that.

After months of uncertainty about their new stadium, Everton fans have finally made it their home. A loud, bouncy and almost hostile win over Chelsea was proof of this.

A cursory glance at social media will confirm this. Ax was overwhelmed by the number of Everton fans admitting after the game that it finally felt like Hill Dickinson was at home. And this has not gone unnoticed elsewhere.

Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo Today is the latest international publication to highlight Everton’s rebirth, with Hill Dickinson’s now famous “Blue Wall” hailed as the heartbeat of a potential new era for the Toffees.

Sunshine, smoke and a statement of victory

With a capacity of 53,000, Hill Dickinson has transformed match days at the Mersey. But it’s the 13,000-strong single tier South Stand, steep, deafening and fearlessly blue, that stands out.

Mundo is certainly impressed, and says it’s Everton’s answer to the Kop at Anfield or Borussia Dortmund’s yellow wall.

According to the newspaper it reflects the spirit of Goodison’s Gwladys Street while creating something distinctively modern. For visiting teams, it’s an intimidating sight, as Chelsea found out. For Everton fans, it is a symbol of resilience.

Mundo says an example of this is the Everton Way, a walkway of 36,000 engraved stones telling the Evertonian story.

An inscription reads: “We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only option we have.”

According to Mundo, it perfectly reflects the mood of the reborn club.

to establish, to move forward

The last few years have been tough for Everton fans, including having to leave their famous and beloved old home Goodison Park.

But March 20th^th Starting with the scenes before the game against Chelsea, it felt symbolic. The rare Liverpool sunshine that morning was taken as a sign.

Hours before kick-off fans lined the streets to welcome the Everton coach, Everton Way was buzzing with life and blue smoke filled the air as supporters escorted Everton to their new home.

The payoff was clear as Chelsea succumbed and Everton secured their first back-to-back wins at their new home. mundo called it a ‘Acoustic Weapon’ And ‘Electrification’. It seems that a tired fan has woken up.

focus on Europe

The focus now turns to a late push for Europe, with Everton just three points behind Liverpool in fifth. The Champions League may be long, but the Europa League or Conference League are there for the taking.

According to Mundo, ‘Finally the sun also came out’ For them. Backed by the Friedkin Group, at least for the Spanish newspaper the belief is that they are now in a position ‘A period of renewal in every sense’.

In fact, he argues that Everton should never have done this ‘Abandoned reputation’ In first place. Now they’ve got it back in a spectacular new stadium on Liverpool’s waterfront.

With the fans now also settled, it has become a situation ‘Incredible atmosphere’ supported by ‘Violent’ south stand he ‘kill immediately’ They are on their journey. He is at least impressed by Everton, their fans and the stadium that finally feels like home.

Everton defender Vitaly Mykolenko has apologized to Ukraine after being eliminated from World Cup qualifying by Sweden.

Tribuna Report Comments The Everton full-back today follows Ukraine’s 3-1 defeat to Sweden on Thursday evening.

Root inspired Sweden

Ukraine hosted Sweden in the World Cup qualifier semi-finals last night but was unable to attend the event. Victor Gykeres’ hat-trick, along with Matvei Ponomarenko’s 91, put the away team through to the final.^{scheduled tribe} The minute’s goal was nothing but a consolation.

It was a sad evening for Ukraine, who had enjoyed a far better qualifying campaign than their counterparts. They finished second behind France in Group D, while Sweden finished fourth in Group B.

Thus, Mykolenko and his side will be confident of qualifying. Instead, he faltered badly in a performance he considered humiliating.

“The feelings are probably the same as the feelings of the entire Ukraine watching football, I have come to thank those who witnessed this disgrace.” He said.

“I wanted to apologize, but there’s no point in apologizing after a fight. I just wanted to say thanks for watching and cheering. I don’t know what else to say.”

toothless display

The Everton defender was unable to explain why Ukraine were beaten, especially after a strong qualifying campaign.

This included securing their place in the first-place play-off with a dominant 2–0 win over Iceland in November.

Confidence was high, but instead it is the sixth defeat in seven play-offs for the country. A more detailed analysis will be done, but for now Mykolenko is ashamed of his ‘toothless’ performance.

“I don’t know, there is nothing to analyze, I will not say anything, we will analyze the theory – it is too late to analyze anything,” He added.

“It’s a shame how immaculately we came out and played. If we can give an example of the match with Iceland, it’s how we fought for this play-off to get here. We fought, the whole of Ukraine was cheering for us, and there was a strong team on the field.

“And it wasn’t like that today. I can’t explain why, maybe it just wasn’t our day. But whatever happens, we’ll be stronger.”

David Moyes probably doesn’t get enough credit for keeping Everton around a European spot this season. There is now a possibility that the Toffees could continue to operate in Europe despite potential regulatory concerns.

Friedkins’ other club – AS Roma – also finds itself in the race for Europe. At one point, they were sitting well inside the top four and were confident of a return to the Champions League. However, they have slipped to sixth place in the table.

Roma are three points clear of fourth-place Como and find themselves in a Europa League or Conference League spot.

As things stand, both clubs owned by the Friedkins are in similar positions. There is every possibility that they may play in Europe next season.

This is now becoming a cause for concern but Everton could be in for some help.

The case will be assessed by UEFA

La Repubblica – relayed by romannewsNote that if Roma and Everton qualify for the same UEFA competition, one of them must be relegated.

This is due to UEFA rules, which do not allow two clubs with the same ownership to play in the same competition. This has been seen mainly in the Champions League. Verona initially faced problems due to its shared ownership with Manchester City, until several club stakes were transferred to independent trustees.

At present, the Friedkin case is being assessed by UEFA. American ownership could follow the Verona path and set up a trust to have both of its clubs play in the competition.

It is believed that if no solution is found, Everton will be chosen over Roma. This is the Italian inclination, where it is believed that when it comes to toffee it will take precedence.

Merit will be attributed to Moyes’ work

If Everton manages to qualify for European competition, it would be quite an achievement for the Toffees. It would speak volumes for the impressive job David Moyes has done in steering the club through difficult times. Financial troubles were also looming all around.

Currently, they are just three points behind Liverpool, who occupy the Europa League spot. Importantly, the two sides will face each other in a vitally important Merseyside derby in April. Before that, they will face Brentford, who are just above them in the table.

The next few weeks will decide everything about Everton’s season.

Everton owners Friedkin Group could face a battle from Leeds United in the race to sign FC Utrecht’s Soufiane El Karouni for AS Roma.

The Friedkin Group owns Everton and Roma and have identified the left-back as a target for the Serie A team.

Leeds United are also in the mix and Everton bosses will have to be wary of the Whites.

The 25-year-old has impressed in defense and attack for the Eredivisie side this season.

To put this in context, he has contributed three goals and 16 assists in 43 minutes in 3,498 matches. He has only featured as a left-back this season, not as a wing-back, and his league statistics are as follows:

• expected goal [per season]: 1.70
• expected assistance [per season]:7.19
• Big chances created: 14
• Interception: 1.0
• Tackle: 2.8
• possession won [final third]: 0.4
• Ball recovered: 4.7
• Duel won: 5.2

The above statistics should be an indication of the Morocco international’s overall game.

The Premier League side have already shown interest in the assist king. Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news LEEDS United could battle West Ham United for his signature. The Hammers wanted him in the winter market but a move never materialized.

Leeds United keen on Morocco

Thursday edition of gazzetta dello sport A report focusing on AS Roma has included the English club’s interest in Soufiane El Karouni.

The Everton owner is working on some potential signings for the Serie A team for next season.

Roma are looking to the Eredivisie for a fullback with the FC Utrecht player a target.

El Karouni’s contract expires in June and this, combined with his performances, makes him even more attractive in the market. Several European clubs, notably Leeds United and Marseille, are keen.

Daniel Farke’s side may be making a strong move to try to bring him to Elland Road.

Why can’t the summer deal be easy for white people?

Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sam Byram are the two recognized left-backs in Daniel Farke’s squad.

Leeds United are now 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone. Marseille, on the other hand, is third in Ligue 1 and will qualify for Europe. one step towards france [or Roma] Soufiane may be more attractive to El Karouni than joining the Whites.

His status as a free agent will certainly see more clubs join the battle for his signature, and that could prove challenging for the Premier League side.

Fenerbahçe have set their sights on Everton striker Beto and are planning to use his contract situation to secure a deal for him this summer.

turkish outlet sok report The Everton striker is on Fenerbahçe’s transfer list, and his performance against Chelsea has brought him back into the spotlight.

Chelsea’s performance rekindles interest

According to his information, the striker has scored two goals and assisted against Chelsea ‘Hunger increased again’ Yellowish blue.

Fenerbahçe parted ways with several strikers during the January transfer window and have since been searching for a new centre-forward. After trying to get him in January, Beto is a name on their list.

January transfer drama

In fact, he was a part of it A classic January transfer drama of that time. It saw his agent traveling to Istanbul, negotiating, and then dropping everything within a few days.

This was all eventually stopped by Everton, who were unwilling to let Beto leave on loan without ensuring a replacement. Thus, Fenerbahçe retreated.

Contract status offers hope

But his interest has not completely ended. And the Turkish side will be watching closely as Beto shines against Chelsea this weekend. His two goals and one assist have reportedly ‘rekindled’ their interest in a deal.

And that interest is being encouraged by his contract situation. Beto’s current deal runs until June 2027, meaning he will enter the final year this summer.

According to SOK, Everton has already moved to resolve this. They have offered Beto a contract, but it has been rejected.

Everton face a summer dilemma

That rejection has encouraged Fenerbahçe to return in the summer. They know that if Everton do not sell in the summer, they risk losing Beto for free after next season. With a market value of €20 million, this is a risk the Toffees would hardly want to take.

Whether Fenerbahçe would pay that much has not been mentioned. But they need a new striker and Beto is on their list. The plan, clearly, is to take advantage of the contract situation to their advantage.

Moyes needs a decision

Meanwhile, Everton have a decision to make. Beto doesn’t need to be a regular goalscorer, but the performance against Chelsea nailed the situation. The 28-year-old has, time and again, hinted at being the solution under David Moyes.

Thierry Barrie is also back on the bench and after the defeat to Arsenal with some fans wanting him to be sold, Everton may not be keen to sell. But he may be forced to leave if Beto won’t sign a new deal, which appears to be the case at the moment.

Everton were repeatedly mentioned as a suitor for Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffey in the January transfer window. The defender situation is now once again attracting attention.

The Arsenal graduate has developed really well at Italy’s oldest club. He has played regularly this season, starting 24 games and impressing under Daniele De Rossi.

He has become a defender who is capable of moving the ball forward with pace, showing consistency throughout the season.

sports witness It was reported in January that Everton were believed to be the most advanced in the race for Norton-Cuffey at Genoa. West Ham were also interested but were holding out.

tuttosport Today we take an in-depth look at the Englishman who could be leaving in the summer.

Three English clubs for defender

The Turin newspaper has highlighted Juventus’ interest in the 22-year-old, with Emil Holm likely to depart.

Juve sporting director Marco Ottolini knows the player well since he himself worked at Genoa. He wants to re-unite by signing a deal with Arsenal, which was completed only €3m.

Juventus are in active discussions with a contingent of defenders, who also have ‘requests from home’. Three English clubs have also made contact and it can easily be assumed that Everton is one of them.

Genoa are currently demanding €15m to €20m to sell the Englishman, with Juve considering adding the player in a potential deal.

This is likely to pose a threat to Everton, especially given their previous interest.

Why could the deal prove crucial for the Toffees?

Everton were linked with a number of right-backs over the winter – including Holm himself. Norton-Cuffey is better than the Swede, who has never been able to perform consistently throughout the season.

The Genoa player’s experience in England could also make him an exciting signing. He has the engine to move forward in the Premier League and that is why even the major Italian sides like him.

Norton-Cuffey is also at the right age and her career is on a high. In the next few seasons, he could even play for a Champions League club and that shows why the Merseyside club should be serious about him.

He has represented Roc Nation SportsA growing name in the agency game.

AS Roma are considering Everton left-back Vitaly Mykolenko as part of their plans for the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to Forza RomaThe Everton defender is on sporting director Frederic Massara’s shortlist as the club prepares for a number of summer departures.

Roma aim for low-cost reinforcements ahead of summer rebuild

Roma are expected to see several first team departures at the end of the season. Financial limitations are currently shaping the club’s rebuilding strategy.

This led sporting director Frederic Massara to prefer affordable, ready-made options that could immediately strengthen the team without requiring large investments. Mykolenko would be one of the more suitable characters.

Roma believe Mykolenko could step straight into their starting eleven, especially given the appeal of a potential free transfer.

Everton’s contract stance complicates potential deal

However, reports have indicated that neither Everton or Mykolenko are planning on parting ways this summer.

speaking in novemberMykolenko rejected suggestions that he was unwilling to negotiate a new Everton deal, and insisted he would remain happy at the club.

“That I don’t want to negotiate (on a contract) with Everton is a complete lie, because we haven’t talked about it yet,” he explained.

“I know my agent will be speaking to Everton representatives soon. I don’t even think about it because I love playing for this club, I get a kick out of here, that’s the most important thing for me. My family is living comfortably here. Basically, there’s nothing more to say.

“It doesn’t affect me. I know how the coaching staff feels about me, how the club feels about me.”

Ukrainian outlet The Express also reported that Everton Planned to use a contract clause to extend his deal until 2027. This would make them willing to sell the defender this summer rather than losing him for free.

Friedkin Group’s ownership could influence negotiations

For now, Roma are expected to monitor the situation closely as they consider their summer options.

They are bracing themselves for a summer exit, all on free transfers, forcing them to rely on low-cost deals or even free transfers. However, it is unlikely that Everton will let them take Mykolenko for free.

Instead, perhaps a deal is to be made between the two clubs looking at shared ownership under the Friedkin Group.

For now, Roma will simply monitor the situation and continue to assess their options. But Mykolenko is an option that Massara is evaluating based on what he can and can’t do.

🇧🇪 Zakaria El Ouhadi | The Premier League will expose him

➡️ Everton and Crystal Palace warned over €15m transfer
❌Pundits are not completely convinced https://t.co/KYBun1bLnX #efc #cpfc

– Sports Witness (@Sport_Witness) 17 March 2026

Everton and Crystal Palace are monitoring Genk right-back Zakaria El OuhadiAhead of a potential €15 million summer transfer. However, leading Belgian analysts believe Premier League clubs should proceed with caution.

Although his offensive performances remain impressive, he believes his defensive shortcomings could become a major problem in the Premier League.

El Ouahdi underlined his attacking quality again at the weekend, scoring a brilliant winner against STVV to keep Genk the champions’ play-off hopes alive.

It was his sixth goal of the season, a brilliant return from the right-back to say the least. That performance and goal would certainly have been noted by English clubs watching him.

Everton and Crystal Palace are tracking Genk right back

Everton and Crystal Palace are among them A report at the end of February Explaining that he could be offered a €15m opportunity.

But according to Hein Vanhazebrouck and Frankie Van der Elst, publicity needs balance. They are talking to Sporz about the Genk star.

Vanhazebrouck didn’t hold back when assessing the 20-year-old’s readiness for a big step up.

Belgian analysts expressed concern over the Premier League

“If you want to be the best in the last 25 years, you not only have to be able to attack and score goals, but you also have to be able to defend,” He said.

“And that’s a problem with El Ouhadi. He allows himself to be neutralized too easily defensively. He also often makes the wrong decisions.”

However, he is willing to accept upside, labeling the defender “One of the better players offensively at his position”. But he warned that unless there was significant improvement, a move to a stronger league would expose their weaknesses.

How does El Ouahdi compare to Daniel Munoz

Frankie van der Elst echoed that sentiment, even questioning whether El Ouhadi is better than his predecessor Daniel Munoz. The Colombian is, undoubtedly, Crystal Palace’s current first choice.

“Is he better than Munoz?” he asked.

“He is a fantastic player and his goal was very efficient. He is a player who brings a lot to that team, but the sum of his parts does not make him the best full-back, not even in the history of Genk.”

This is a comparison Everton and Crystal Palace can take note of. Munoz adapted well and is now a Premier League star, but analysts question whether El Ouhady will be able to do the same.

Is a €15m move still worth the risk?

Despite their concerns, both analysts agreed on one thing; El Ouhadi will earn a big move away from Genk this summer.

“Hopefully he’ll make a good transfer,” Vanhazebrouck said.

“But I don’t think the top clubs are going to come and get him. Munoz is much bigger than him. In terms of tackling ability and aerial duels, which is not insignificant for a right-back. He will not be a target for the big clubs in England.”

This, potentially, puts Everton and Crystal Palace in the right bracket. Ambitious, mid-table sides looking for value and profit. In fact, This pair is presented as a better Optioned to full-back earlier this month.

What this means for Everton and Crystal Palace

Both clubs are looking for dynamic full-backs who can contribute in the final third. El Ouahdi fits the bill perfectly, but analysts’ warnings should be heeded.

At €15 million he could be a bargain, however, he would also be a project that requires time and security. His talent is undeniable, yet he is still raw and has weaknesses. Summer vacations seem inevitable, but the pundit duo wants couples to be aware of what they’re getting into.

Crystal Palace and Everton will be more attractive destinations for Genk defender Zakaria El Ouhadi than PSV Eindhoven this summer.

This is according to Michel Vercauteren, Via Voetbal Primeur. As far as he is concerned, a move to PSV is not the move the 24-year-old is looking for this summer.

He has suitors in the Premier League, with reports linking a number of sides with a potential move.

Everton and Crystal Palace in particular are at the front of the queue for him. Sport Witness has covered his interest extensively.

Everton and Crystal Palace

The two parties were strongly linked during the January transfer window. Actually, a report on the 9th^th Was Both sides are in advanced talks for the defender.

No deal for either side A report on the 27th^th of february Indicated that Crystal Palace was continuing to push. A report last week said El Ouhadi may be Available this summer for as little as €15 million.

It added that PSV Eindhoven were also interested. In fact, this renders the Dutch champions as the team most pressing for the defender at the moment. It seems they are eager to beat the competition.

It was also made clear that El Ouhadi is considering a move as he looks to take the next step in his career. The question is whether he considers converting Belgium into the Netherlands a sufficient step.

Better option than PSV

Verkauteren doubts that is so. And, as far as he is concerned, El Ouhadi should think carefully about it. He could have had better options at Everton, Crystal Palace or others.

“Do you want to be champion in the Netherlands or play for sixth or seventh place in the Premier League?” He said.

“The gap between the top team in Belgium and the top team in the Netherlands is not very big. Belgian clubs have already closed that gap.

“I don’t understand why Dutch clubs are still held in high esteem. PSV may be a step ahead of KRC Genk, but not as far ahead as they were 30 years ago.

“And I’m not saying that Real Madrid will sign him now. But the teams that will sign him from PSV will also do the same from Genk.”

Fulham striker Raul Jimenez is currently refusing to return to Mexico as he wants to remain in the Premier League. There, Everton and West Ham could be options.

This is according to El FutboleroReporter Kerry Ruiz relaying information. According to their information, Jiménez has no intention of returning to Liga MX this summer.

The 34-year-old looks set to become a free agent this summer when his contract with Fulham expires. Several reports have indicated that they have decided to separate. This certainly appears to be the case as Fulham are closing in on a replacement for Ricardo Pepi.

Reports indicate that Jiménez may wish to return to his homeland Mexico. He has talked about this for years, indicating that he would like to join Club América at the end of his career.

Leaving Fulham and staying in PL

However, it seems he is not ready to take the step yet. According to Ruiz, Jiménez believes his immediate future lies outside Liga MX.

He revealed that the Fulham striker wants to remain in the Premier League ‘with another mid-table team’. He will be leaving Craven Cottage, but has no plans to leave England yet.

The striker believes he still has the ‘required level’ to compete in the Premier League. His desire is to stay after the World Cup, even if he leaves Fulham. His team is already looking for alternatives.

Everton and West Ham

El Fútbolero then cites TUDN. The Mexican outlet recently reported that Everton and West Ham have previously shown interest in Jimenez. The feeling is that they should not be dismissed as potential destinations.

West Ham will obviously need to avoid relegation to be realistic, as Everton are having a better season.

The main thing is that the experienced player does not want to return to Mexico right now. While several reports have indicated a desire to explore the idea this summer after the World Cup, their stance has now changed.

What remains to be seen is whether he has any interest in leaving Fulham. There’s no denying that he could still be an asset to anyone, as he’s proven again this season for Marco Silva’s side.

Everton’s interest in Eden Zhegrova has grown in Italy, and this time the focus is not just on a potential transfer… but on whether his Juventus move was a mistake in the first place.

As reported last weekThe Italian press said the Kosovo international is expected to leave Juventus in the summer, with the Premier League mentioned as a possible destination. The outlet also recalled Everton’s failed attempt to sign the winger in January.

Now, TuttoMercatoWeb A new layer has been added to the story. He has interviewed Serxio Mezzi, a mediator who previously worked on Zegrova’s move to Italy. His view is uncompromising: the Juventus switch was the wrong decision and a summer exit is necessary.

“Juventus was the wrong choice”

Zhegrova came off the bench in Juventus’s 3–3 draw against Roma at the Olimpico and played a key role in the comeback. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, he repeatedly attacked defenders, delivered dangerous crosses and created a constant feeling of superiority in one-on-one situations.

Mezi praised his influence. He said: “As far as Zegrova is concerned, Adan performed very well, making the difference with his ability to take on his man and create numerical superiority.”

However, he raised questions about how the player was treated in Turin. Referring to the decision to leave Luciano Spalletti on the bench in recent weeks, Mezzi explained: “Spaletti put him on the bench and, as we know, it destroys a player mentally. Aidan went through a very serious injury and was not treated 100. He needs belief and consistency.”

Then the decisive decision came. Asked if Juventus’ move was the right one, he replied: “Absolutely not. For me, Juventus was the wrong choice and Zhegrova should have left earlier in the summer. This is obviously only my personal opinion.”

What this means for Everton’s prospects

This latest intervention reinforces the story already emerging in Italy. calciomercato.it had Zhegrova lined up as a potential summer departure, and Everton were specifically named as suitors.

For David Moyes, the profile remains attractive. Zhegrova, 26, is a left-footed right winger who previously impressed at Lille, where he constantly beat defenders and delivered goals. However, questions over his knee injury and current physical acuity remain part of the evaluation.

Juventus only signed him in the summer of 2025, so any deal will depend on their valuation and willingness to quickly reduce their losses. Yet, when people close to the player publicly say he should leave, it inevitably changes the mood.

If Everton do return, they will be moving in a context that looks even more volatile now than it did in January.

Crystal Palace and Everton will have to start with €15m if they are to sign Zakaria El Ouhadi from Genk this summer.

This is according to Africa Foot. The website reports that Genk have set a price tag of €15m for the 24-year-old this summer.

According to their information obtained from a source very close to the player, Ouahdi is heading towards a departure in the summer transfer window.

He is on the radar of several ‘ambitious’ European clubs. Actually, the talks have now started taking concrete form.

VfB Stuttgart are keeping a close eye on the player’s profile, while Crystal Palace and Everton have expressed genuine interest.

€15m asking price

Sport Witness has covered reports on his interest over the past few months. In one such report today it is said The Crystal Palace was preparing for the summer stay.

he followed A similar report came last month also Which put the Eagles and Everton in the mix for the defender’s signature.

According to Africa Foot’s source, Genk have set their asking price at €15m. The player, for his part, has informed the Belgian club of his intention to change clubs. He wants to take the next step in his career.

However, his focus is on taking the right steps. A ‘very attractive offer’ has come from a Russian club, but he is not interested in it.

psv eindhoven competition

However, Everton and Crystal Palace need to move forward quickly. That’s because PSV Eindhoven has stepped up its efforts in recent weeks.

In fact, the Dutch club has already contacted representatives of El Ouahadi to find out the terms of the transfer.

Indeed, his father, who manages his affairs, is said to have welcomed the idea of ​​a move to the Eredivisie.

This suggests Crystal Palace and Everton may need to step up their interest soon.

At €15 million, El Ouhadi could be a bargain. This certainly would not be a price that would deter both parties from pursuing further efforts given their long-term interest.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has taken aim at Everton and Aston Villa in his continued complaints about Premier League spending.

Mundo Deportivo covered La Liga Supreme’s comments today. And it looks like Everton and Aston Villa are on target this time.

Tebas regularly complains about the Premier League’s spending power compared to La Liga. It is a constant point of complaint for the Spanish chief, who believes English clubs are being allowed to operate unfairly.

The complaints persist despite changes to spending rules this summer.

PSR abandoned

The Premier League is abandoning its old PSR model to adopt a more UEFA-compliant model. Under the current system, clubs cannot make a loss of more than £105m over a three-year period.

This will be deemed obsolete and replaced by rules that allow clubs to spend up to 85% of their revenue on transfers, wages and agent fees.

The new rules will also prevent actions by clubs such as selling assets such as hotels and women’s teams to circumvent financial rules.

Everton and Aston Villa have both used it in recent years. To make room for transfer spending, Everton sold Everton Women to Roundhouse Capital Holdings in July 2025. Aston Villa have sold their women’s team to a parent holding company in a deal reportedly worth £55m in early 2025.

Chelsea’s deal was even bigger, reportedly worth around £200 million. This allowed them to turn a large loss into a pre-tax profit.

Everton and Aston Villa in the firing line

However, he seems to have avoided the wrath of Tebas. Instead, he took aim at Everton and Aston Villa in his comments at a press conference in London.

“We’re fooling ourselves,” He said.

“It is commendable that we are demanding Financial Fair Play rules. But the turnover of English football, excluding transfers, is twice that of the Spanish League and twice that of the Bundesliga, which is next in line.

“With normal financial fair play, its investment potential will always be double. We know we cannot compete financially with the Premier League.

“We can sign better players, hire better coaches, but we can’t compete. The Premier League alone, with normal financial fair play, is enough to be number one by a wide margin.”

Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are all seen as potential competitors to Napoli for Marcos Senesi.

This is according to Area NaplesWhich covers his side’s attempts to get to the defender today. The Bournemouth man has a queue of suitors as he looks set to move on a free transfer in the summer transfer window.

Aria Napoli report that Napoli are one of the sides eyeing a move. There has been ‘reflection’ due to injuries in his squad and sporting director Giovanni Manna is already looking around.

Senesi is one of the players they have targeted. The 28-year-old defender is an old target but there may now be a way to finally get him.

Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle

The biggest problem is the competition for his signature. In this regard, Napoli need to be wary of Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle United. Roma and Juventus are also stepping up their efforts to land the Argentine.

This is not the first time that Sport Witness has linked Premier League sides with a move for the Bournemouth man.

a report on the 18th^th Tottenham were put into the mix with reports suggesting they were potentially battling Barcelona for Senesi’s signature this month. This comes after a previous report on the 13th^th Suggested he had his eye on her.

agents are working hard

On the 9th, Everton was named as a potential suitor^th. They were in the mix in that report With the likes of Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

However, this is the first time that Aston Villa and Newcastle have been added to the mix. However, given his PSR issues in the recent window, it probably isn’t surprising that he would have his eye on free agents.

The reality is that it feels like his agents are shopping around and taking interest. This would certainly make sense as Sport Witness covered a report suggesting that the Bournemouth Senesi would be leaving this summer.

Aston Villa are no longer alone in their pursuit of Jenni Catamo. According to Portuguese newspaper recordDespite this, the Sporting CP winger remains firmly on the radar of many clubs Recently renewing your contract Till 2029.

Villa were previously linked with the 25-year-old, and now Everton and Fulham have also been named as interested Premier League sides. Meanwhile, French club Lyon have been reported as “the latest to knock on the door”.

Sporting may have extended the deal of Jenny Catamo, but the noise around him has not died down.

Premier League competition is increasing

Records show that Jenni Catamo recently visited Sporting’s offices to review his contract. He received a pay rise and an extra year, keeping him tied to the club until 2029. The provision for his release remains at €60m (£51m).

However, the renewal does not guarantee that he will remain beyond this season. The report makes it clear that many clubs are constantly keeping an eye on him.

For Aston Villa, this changes the dynamic. Earlier, they appeared as a leading english lover. Now, they face domestic competition from Everton and Fulham, both of whom have been mentioned prominently in the Portuguese press.

As interest has now spread to several Premier League clubs, Sporting is benefiting. Even if the actual sale price is less than the full €60m (£51m) clause – €20m could do thisAs mentioned earlier – the bidding environment can push figures sharply upward.

French threat increases pressure

Lyon’s emergence introduces another layer. The Ligue 1 side are presented as the most recent club to make contact. Cross-league competition often strengthens the position of a selling club, especially when English spending power is involved.

From Villa’s point of view, timing could prove decisive. They already know the player’s profile and contractual situation. However, waiting too long could give rivals a chance to formalize their interest.

Sporting’s strategy seems clear. He has protected Jenny Catamo’s contract and increased his pay, yet he has not closed the door to a summer departure.

What does this mean for Aston Villa

If Villa come back, they will enter a more competitive landscape than before. Everton and Fulham offer alternative Premier League destinations. Lyon offers continental competition.

The bet is €60 million (£51 million), but the actual fight could be well below that figure. Still, with more clubs circling around, the price may eventually rise compared to last summer’s environment.

Aston Villa are no longer talking in isolation. And in transfer markets, he alone can change everything.
