The Toffees have struggled to make signings in recent years with financial struggles holding them back, but the summer transfer window has been a solid one to date. Former Sheffield United star Iliman Ndiaye was snapped up from Marseille, while Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstrom joined on loan.
Jake O’Brien has been brought in from Lyon to bolster the defensive ranks and young midfielder Tim Iroegbunam made the switch from Aston Villa to Everton. It’s been a fruitful summer so far for Dyche, but the former Burnley boss could yet welcome one of the most exciting players Goodison Park will have seen in years before the window slams shut.
Everton ‘Bid £24m’ For Vitor Roque
They aren’t far from Barca’s reasonable valuation
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that the English club tabled a bid of £24 million + add-ons for Barca’s young talent. The Spanish giants rebuffed the offer but set a reasonable asking price. Hansi Flick’s men are willing to part ways with the teenager for a fee in the region of £26-30 million.
It’s unclear if Everton will be able to increase their offer to meet that valuation, as the Merseyside-based outfit must be wary of breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules. It’s been claimed that the club could be hit with yet another points deduction ahead of the 2024/25 season after receiving two in the prior term.
