Idrissa Gana Gueye is yet to reach an agreement with Everton, delaying a potential return from Paris Saint Germain this summer.
That’s according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, who explains why a move for the midfielder is not progressing as expected.
The midfielder has been linked with a return over the last fortnight, having been put on the list of players that PSG would like to move on this summer.
Everton had initially moved quickly to secure his signature as they reshape Frank Lampard’s squad and it appeared that a deal was close to being finalised.
However, there has been little movement since news of the potential move emerged, with Everton instead wrapping up a deal for Amadou Onana.
On Tuesday, we covered a report that stated they’re still putting the pressure on to get the deal they want but Gueye is ‘hesitating’, hence the delay.
That’s not deterred the Toffees, who are ‘not giving up’ according to him, backing up the idea they are pushing to bring the Senegalese international back to Goodison Park.
Hawkins’ suggestion seems to be that there’s a problem in terms of wages, which is not surprising given Gueye will likely need to take a significant wage cut should he return to Merseyside this summer.
It seems, then, Everton need to either up their offer or find a way to satisfy Gueye’s demands to get this deal over the line.
🔵🔴 Au Paris Saint-Germain, Thilo Kehrer est ouvert à un départ. Il réfléchit encore à l’offre de West Ham et n’a pas pris sa décision. Séville part de bcp plus loin 🇩🇪
À ce jour, pas d’accord entre Gana Gueye et Everton. Les Anglais ne lâchent pas 🇸🇳#mercato
