On May 27th, we covered claims from Mundo Deportivo that Everton have Jean-Clair Todibo on their transfer ‘agenda’.
The Barcelona owned defender joined Schalke on loan in January and they had an option to make his transfer permanent for €25m.
Schalke sporting director Jochen Schneider has confirmed the deadline to exercise that option expired on May 31st.
Tuesday’s edition of Sport has a report on the centre-back and they state his future now ‘points to the Premier League’.
Everton are once again mentioned and according to Sport, Carlo Ancelotti ‘wants to recruit’ the 20-year-old for the Merseyside club.
The newspaper mentions ‘they point from England’ that Everton would be considering an offer of €22m plus variables and this would be close to the fee demanded by Quique Setién’s side.
However, Sport‘s online edition states they received this information from a source close to the English club.
The report doesn’t mention the figure demanded by Barcelona for Todibo, but earlier reports have indicated it to be around €25m.
