On February 21st, AS explained Everton continue to maintain interest in Atalanta’s Duván Zapata.
It was also stated the Toffees have to avoid relegation to stand a chance of signing him in the summer, as they are currently 17th in the table, level on points with 18th placed Nottingham Forest.
Later that month, the Everton target’s agent admitted they “will evaluate” the offers the 32-year-old will receive after this season.
Il Giorno have a report explaining the Serie A side’s plan if Zapata or Rasmus Højlund were to move elsewhere, and this is when Everton’s interest in the Colombia international gets a mention.
The Merseyside club are still ‘looking’ to sign Zapata in the next window, and should Atalanta receive the right offer, they seem to be willing to part ways with the South American.
If he were to ‘emigrate’ to the Premier League, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side could think of replacing the imposing attacker with West Ham United’s Gianluca Scamacca.
Zapata has managed one goal and four assists from 21 matches in all competitions this season, although that is a blip in what has been a rather prolific career to date.
