However, both of them remained at the respective clubs. Gabbiadini and Kalinic share the same agent, Vincenzo Morabito, who has been speaking to Radio Bruno Toscana (via Viola News) about Everton’s interest in his clients.
He said: “Initially, Everton showed interest in Fiorentina’s Kalinic, putting Pantaleo Corvino in great difficulty, but could not do the operation because of the will of Sousa who would not allow the player to leave.
“Then, Everton went on for Manolo Gabbiadini, with Napoli panicking to find a replacement. The Neapolitans have tried for Kalinic, but Fiorentina rightly fired up. Everton offered an interesting figure for Kalinic.”
It’d be interesting to see if Everton revive their interest in Kalinic or Gabbiadini in the future transfer windows.
