Everton paid €2.25m to Barcelona when signing Andre Gomes on a season-long loan deal before the start of this campaign.

As part of the transfer, there’s no clause that will allow the Toffees to make the midfielder’s deal permanent.

On February 15th, we relayed news from Spain that the La Liga winners are waiting for the Merseyside club’s sporting director Marcel Brands to visit the club in order to discuss about the possibility of signing the 25-year-old on a permanent transfer.

Wednesday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo now claims Brands has still not made a trip to Barcelona, but there has been an ‘open line’ between the two clubs for the Portugal international.

For Marco Silva’s side, Gomes is a ‘priority’ for next season and the player is also keen on continuing in the Premier League.

However, Everton and the Spanish champions have not had reached an agreement for the transfer of the former Valencia man.

Barca have made it clear that a summer sale is only possible if they receive a ‘good offer’ for Gomes.
