Everton’s ‘pressure is strong’ to sign wantaway player – ‘At least €35m’ needed for transfer

Inter are competition for Everton in the race to sign Lazio’s Joaquín Correa this summer, according to Calciomercato.it.

The forward is currently enjoying his days off after winning the Copa América with Argentina earlier this month, and is waiting to hear news about his future.

It was previously reported that Maurizio Sarri revealed the 26-year-old has expressed his desire to leave the Serie A side, but for any potential deal to take shape, the Biancocelesti will need ‘at least €35m’.

It’s claimed the Toffees’ ‘pressure is strong’ on the forward, but in the last few hours, Inter have ‘taken hold’ of the situation, with Simone Inzaghi wanting to reunite with his former player at the San Siro.

Calciomercato.it points out the South American enjoyed his best spell of his playing career under Inzaghi’s guidance, scoring 30 goals in 116 appearances.

The Nerazzurri signing the player would mean ‘a purchase with an almost guaranteed return’.

Therefore, Inter are ready for a ‘duel’ with Everton to acquire Correa’s services in the ongoing window.
