Needing to bring in someone who can replace Leighton Baines down the line, Everton have fixated themselves on Barcelona’s Lucas Digne, and they’re edging closer to getting their man.
Early on Friday, we covered a story from Mundo Deportivo, who claimed an offer had arrived on the La Liga champions’ desk, but the amount hadn’t filtered through, even if it was believed to be above €16.5m.
RMC Sport in France, however, appear to have a bit more on the matter, corroborating the claim that an official bid has been made, but with a bit more detail.
According to the French media outlet, the Toffees are prepared to pay somewhere in between €18-22m for the former Lille starlet.
Down the player’s end, Digne has yet to make his mind up, as Barcelona are leaving him decide what wants to do.
The club’s staff would ideally like him to stay, but they also won’t stand in his way as they know he could get more first-team football elsewhere.
Juventus are also on the case, but they would only make a move if Alex Sandro was sold, which doesn’t seem to be that topical these days.
