everton FC Midtjylland are monitoring centre-back Ousmane Diao ahead of the summer transfer window.

Africa Foot reports that Everton have added the Senegalese defender to their list, and they are very interested in the 21-year-old.

Diao on Everton radar

The website reports that Ousmane Diao is now on Everton’s radar after impressing for the Danish side this season.

FC Midtjylland is willing to open the door to a transfer, but will not let him leave at any price. While the defender is valued at €8m, they are demanding €15-20m for their man.

Everton are not the only team to show interest. Eintracht Frankfurt, Port, Benfica, Fulham, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth all have the player in their sights.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig’s €12m bid has already been rejected according to Africa Foot’s exclusive source. There is no pressure on FC Midtjylland as Diao is tied down on a deal until 2029.

He is enjoying significant playing time at the Danish club and, despite his age, has already made 75 appearances in all competitions. This has seen him score 10 goals and provide five assists, which are good numbers for a defender.

Everton scout makes regular visits

He is a player who has been steadily improving over the last few years and is establishing himself as an exciting prospect. Now that Everton have him on their radar, it should come as no surprise.

Sport Witness covered a report in December This made it clear that the Toffees were watching FC Midtjylland very closely.

Their scouts made at least eight visits to the club during that time. The assumption at the time was that he was there to see Franculino, Ousmane Diao, Dario Osorio and Aral Simsir.

The current squad all features players who have been attracting major European attention over the past few seasons. It now appears that their focus is very much on Ousmane Diao, who has attracted the attention of a number of clubs this season.

In January, the Italian press appeared confident of Napoli agreeing personal terms with Wolves’ Joao Gomes. it was covered extensively sports witnessBecause the midfielder started living in England.

Napoli never reached agreement on a deal with the Midlands club, and it always looked like a complicated January transfer.

It was believed that the situation would attract other clubs, with Atlético Madrid and Manchester United seen as potential suitors.

Despite this, it does not seem that Napoli have given up on the midfielder.

Napoli still ready for Wolves star

The 25-year-old’s condition is once again attracting attention. Journalist Luca Marchetti spoke to Radio Marte about his future, making it clear that Napoli could still be an option for him.

Speaking about the Wolves man, the Italian said – relayed by tuttonapoli: : “wolves midfielder Gomes is an interesting name who has been on Napoli’s radar for some time as they look for a midfielder.

Marchetti said it was too early to speculate whether the player would arrive in Naples.

“Of course, it’s hard to say whether they’ll sign him in July or not; it’s too early, but the interest has been there for some time.”

In the January transfer window, the Partenopei did not improve their midfield. He focused more on attack in place of Noah Lang and Lorenzo Lucca. This could make a big midfield signing possible in the summer.

Chances of competition for Naples

Given how much Gomes has risen to prominence at Wolves, this is unlikely to be an easy task for Napoli.

His current deal at Molineux expires in the summer of 2030, suggesting the transfer would cost a lot. Napoli spends big but only on rare occasions.

So if they really want Gomes, they need to lay the foundation for their move. Or competition from other clubs would prove a major threat, especially if Wolves were to sell the player. An agreement on individual terms can certainly prove valuable in this situation.
