The way things are going, Kevin Mirallas, much to his delight, probably won’t be an Everton player much longer.
It isn’t that he dislikes the Toffees, far from it, it’s more that he’s really enjoying himself at Fiorentina and he’s ready to fully move on from his Goodison Park adventure as his career starts to wind down slowly.
Scoring two goals in his last two games, the Belgian has finally shown Stefano Pioli that starting him is a good idea, and that’s helped him convince those at the top paying the €7m to make the loan move permanent would be worth it.
Corriere dello Sport look at the situation on Friday, claiming ‘the preconditions for activating the clause seem to be there’, as both sides ‘mutually’ feel it should be done.
Already agreeing to a four-year deal with the Italian side in case Fiorentina did want to transfer him permanently, Mirallas’ future couldn’t be any simpler if the money is paid.
€7m, and he’ll leave Everton behind him for good.
