The rumours linking Everton to Brazilian wonderkid Reinier have returned this week, with claims a €30m bid was rejected last month.
This a story which has been going for a few months now. It was first claimed the player was close to moving to the Toffees on a €40m deal, and then reported that the Premier League side were not so sure about paying that much.
With the story being dragged for a while, it becomes obvious that the first bid never existed. And journalist Mauro Cézar Pereira now has a video explaining the player’s situation.
He says Reinier has indeed been attracting a lot of attention from European sides, since he’s been succeeding for Brazil’s youth levels and having a good start to his first team career with Flamengo.
So it seems that in case Everton are really in talks for Reinier, the Toffees are still to make a real attempt, or there’s disagreement over what constitutes an actual offer.
