Everton ‘seem to be serious’ about their interest in Hellas Verona defender Jackson Tchatchoua and are working to find a deal that suits everyone.
That’s according to L’Arena, who report that the Italian side want €8m minimum for the defender, something it seems Everton are yet to offer.
They report on the various incomings and potential outgoings at Hellas Verona this summer, with Tchatchoua one of those who could be in the latter camp.
He’s been linked with a move away over the last few weeks, with Everton having reportedly expressed an interest in him and several reports insisting that they’re in the mix.
Indeed, earlier today it was claimed that they had made a bid for the defender via an intermediary to try and kick things off.
L’Arena now follow that up and say ‘there is always Everton’ when it comes to Tchatchoua. In other words, Everton are always in the background for him and looking into a move.
According to them, ‘confirmations’ on the player are arriving and the Blues ‘seem to be serious’ when it comes to the defender.
That’s not translated into an agreement as yet but there is work on to find a balance between supply and demand. In plain English, that means Everton and Hellas Verona are working to find a price that they both agree on.
The latter are currently sticking to an asking price of €8m, which they absolutely won’t fall below, but Everton have yet to pay. They are, though, ahead of West Ham, who have also been credited with an interest and remain ‘more out of the way’ at this moment in time.
