Everton wants to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window as they will be without key players during the Africa Cup of Nations.
At the top of their list is Fenerbahçe’s midfielder Fred.
Idrissa Gueye may be unavailable for a significant period due to the tournament. Senegal, considered one of the favorites, could reach the final.
The later Senegal is eliminated, the bigger the disadvantage for Everton. This is why the club is expected to be persistent in the transfer market.
However, the Turkish side does not want to let their players go easily.
They are reportedly expecting a fee of around £17 million. Although this amount seems high for Everton, it is believed that the two clubs could find a middle ground.
