At the start of this month, Gianluca Di Marzio stated negotiations are underway between Everton and Udinese over a potential deal for Rodrigo Becão.
Later that month, we carried a report from Tuttosport, who explained the Toffees are providing competition to Lazio, Napoli and Torino to sign the defender this summer.
Tutto Udinese now state the 26-year-old continues to please clubs in Italy and abroad, with Everton included in the latter category.
It’s said Frank Lampard’s side have made initial contact for the centre-back and the same was done by Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, the tracks leading to the Merseyside club and Spurs have ‘completely cooled down’.
Torino president Urbano Cairo was surprised by Udinese’s €10-15m demand for Becão, Napoli feel the same and think the amount being asked for is too high.
With the Serie A sides not willing to meet Udinese’s demands and Everton cooling their interest, Becão may have to continue with his current employer.
