Everton are coming to the realisation they will need to match Almería’s demands for striker El Bilal Touré, with the Spanish side not moving from their position on the matter.
That’s according to IDEAL, who provide the latest update on the striker as Everton continue to try and sign him this summer.
They explain that the Toffees were the ‘first team to show interest’ in El Bilal Touré in this window and are ‘still trying to see’ if Almería will lower their demands for him.
Almería have made it clear that they are and there is nothing in the pipeline at this moment in time, something that is sure to be causing panic at Everton.
The Spanish club are also ‘confident’ that there will be movements in their dressing room this week, believing that the suitors for El Bilal Touré and others ‘will put the money on the table’ to get them.
Their plan is to raise at least €50m in sales this summer and El Bilal Touré is key to that, with a €40m release clause in his contract and confidence they can get €30m plus.
Whether that is from Everton remains to be seen but the belief in Spain is that they are slowly realising they will need to dig deep and match Almería’s asking price.
