Sevilla are eyeing up a potential free transfer for Bas Dost, report Marca, with the Spanish newspaper presenting competition from Everton and Newcastle United.
The Premier League clubs are said to be ‘very interested’ in the Sporting player, who is expected to leave Portugal this summer after being attacked by hooligans.
Sevilla are mainly interested in a free transfer and plan to sit down with the player’s environment for discussions about the situation.
Everton claims just won’t go away, with reports from Portugal this week saying the club’s new manager Marco Silva has given his approval to the Dutchman’s signing. Marcel Brands had presented the option, and Silva gave his nod to the efforts.
Unlike Sevilla, Everton were said to want to do a ‘clean’ transfer and pay a fee rather than going through a court battle trying to cancel a contract.
Silva spoke to the Portuguese media this week and denied he’d recommended any players in Portugal to Everton, but it wasn’t clear if those words were given before or after the claims.
