As shown by their attempt to bring Tanguy Ndombélé on loan from Tottenham, Everton are a bit strapped for cash at the moment.
Not only that, but the Toffees are still without a manager after sacking Rafa Benitez, which makes the transfer window a bit more difficult to navigate, meaning loans are the safest bet for temporary deals the next man in the job can use without long-term commitments.
Among the players being looked at is Dejan Kulusevski, still pushed to one side at Juventus and who could still leave before the end of January.
Corriere dello Sport make it clear that Everton are after the Swede, but ‘conditioned by the limits imposed by FFP’, the ‘offer of the Toffees doesn’t go beyond a loan’.
Juventus ‘would open’ that avenue ‘trying to establish the conditions for a rich ransom’ down the line, but the player himself still needs ’to be convinced’, who, while ‘available to change shirts’, is ‘waiting for a more attractive alternative’.
