Dan Bardell believes Everton could utilise their link with Roma through potential new owner Dan Friedkin to sign Edoardo Bove this summer.
HITC journalist Graeme Bailey has reported (19 June) that the Toffees have moved ahead of Premier League rivals in the race to sign Bove from the Serie A giants.
A deal for the 22-year-old could be helped by the progress of a potential takeover from Friedkin who owns Roma and is set to undergo directors’ and owners’ tests [The Telegraph].
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell believes the deal is positive and Bove could become a replacement option for Amadou Onana who has been linked with moves away.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Bardell said: “Things like that (owned clubs selling between each other) might become more prominent for Everton with the way finances are in football now.
“Potentially being tied to Roma is certainly not going to harm a deal like Edordo Bove if Dan Friedkin is to take over this summer.
“I think it says a lot that Roma fans would be unhappy if they lost him because he’s a highly-rated young player.
