But the 28-year-old’s price seems to be a problem for the Toffees. The outlet claims the Premier League side find Sporting’s demands ‘exaggerated’, as they would be asking for €30m to let him go.
Meanwhile, the price doesn’t sound like too much for Tottenham. The Portuguese press has been saying that only €5m separates Spurs’ last offer from a deal. So ifEverton are really interested, they could have serious competition.
Newspaper Jornal de Notícias had claims today saying West Brom also tried to enter the race, but Silva doesn’t want a move to the Baggies.
O Jogo don’t seem to know if Adrien would be keen to join Everton, but they don’t suggest otherwise.
