Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth have both made ‘formals proposals’ to sign FC Porto’s Evanilson, reports Tuesday’s edition of O Jogo.
The 24-year-old striker played 42 games last season for Porto, and put in an impressive set of statistics with 25 goals and seven assists.
O Jogo don’t seem very impressed with the offers from the Premier League duo, saying they were ‘not even reaching €40m’.
Bournemouth are picked out first and it’s said they’ve offered €30m as a fixed fee and then a further €5m in potential bonus payments.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest wanted a lower upfront payment but were prepared to pay more in potential bonuses so that the end figures were similar to those proposed by Bournemouth.
Porto haven’t been impressed with either offer and they feel the bids fall short of the Brazilian’s market value. Evanilson has a contract lasting until June 2027 and is protected by a €100m release clause, so there’s no worry in that regard.
Porto are said to be aware they won’t be getting €100m or anything close to that amount this summer. They seem to have a valuation in their head but O Jogo don’t report what that is.
Other, unnamed, Premier League clubs are also thought to be keen.
