Something worth remembering when multiple outlets report on the same story is that most journalists will have different sources.
That’s why, especially in the case of a high profile transfer such as Idrissa Gueye’s potential move from Everton to Paris Saint-Germain, you’ll get varying reports.
Earlier on Monday, we looked at how L’Equipe were flipping and flopping when it came to the price, explaining the Toffees were open to a transfer if a certain figure was met.
However, Foot Mercato had completely different information over the weekend, fully going against the grain, as they stated Gueye simply ‘isn’t for sale’.
Despite reports of ongoing negotiations, the French website state that Everton told the defensive midfielder’s agent that an exit in January ‘wasn’t possible’ and no official contact had taken place between the Toffees and the Ligue 1 champions.
This makes the most sense considering how important the Senegal international is to Marco Silva, starting all but four of this year’s Premier League games, including the 2-0 win against Bournemouth at the weekend.
The summer is a whole different kettle of fish, but Paris Saint-Germain’s FFP restrictions will be a bit more relaxed then, meaning they might move onto bigger targets, which Everton are most likely very aware of.
