On Thursday, we covered two separate reports from the French media regarding the future of Rachid Ghezzal, who is an important target for Everton at the end of transfer window.
The 24-year-old winger is having to choose between either moving to the Premier League or signing a new contract with Lyon, as his current deal ends in June, meaning he’d be available on a free next summer.
Ronald Koeman’s side are said to have made an ‘interesting offer, both financially and football-wise’, but the player wants to take some time to decide: either he takes the offer, renews his contract or runs down his current deal and leaves on a free.
The daily says he’ll take a few days to evaluate his options, but the offer from Everton seems to be on the table, while Lyon and the Premier League side have allegedly agreed terms for a transfer: the Merseyside club will pay €11m and 20% of any future transfer.
Not bad for a player in the last year of his contract.
