Porto’s Yacine Brahimi has been strongly linked with a move to Everton. Recently, English newspaper The Mirror claim Everton had a €30m bid rejected, whilst A Bola in Portugal reported the Toffees have already met Porto’s asking price of €40m.
Ronald Koeman is keen on signing the Algerian international before the end of the transfer window, it’s his ‘one goal’. France Football say Brahimi has a release clause of €60m, but Everton are hoping to sign him for €30m.
Earlier, the Portuguese media reported Porto have only 50% of the player’s economic rights, so they’ll only get €15m if a deal is agreed for €30m.
Brahimi has spent two season at Porto, and has 22 goals and 20 assists to his name. The 26-year-old has another three years left on his contract. He’s not been training with the first team squad, as everyone involved wants a sale, so Everton may well have some leverage.
