On Saturday morning, several Italian outlets claimed that Everton had made a €25m offer for the Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini. Ronald Koeman would want the player to make a partnership with Romelu Lukaku.
Everton’s offer reportedly was of €20m up front plus €5m in bonuses, but it was not enough to convince Napoli. Gabbiadini is expected to sign a five-year contract, with a €1m per year pay rise, meaning his next salary will be of around €2.5m per season.
Contradicting the claims, TuttoNapoli have since reported that there’s been no response yet from the Serie A club to Everton’s €25m offer, that’s their latest report. Buying the player was always likely to be difficult, especially after the sale of Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus.
