Report: England International Demands Over £100k-a-Week for Everton Move This Summer.
Everton Must Take Action to Secure Key Summer Transfer Target.
The Friedkin Group has yet to make a significant impact on the playing squad.
David Moyes was surprised by the extent of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) affecting Everton during the January transfer window, having returned to the club midway through the month.
Despite these financial constraints, Everton managed to complete one piece of business, securing midfielder Carlos Alcaraz on loan from Flamengo.
The club is expected to make the move permanent in the summer, with Abdoulaye Doucoure likely to depart.
However, Everton has its eye on another midfielder, who has now received a lucrative contract offer from a Premier League rival.
West Ham Offers £100k-per-Week Deal to Everton Target
As Everton prepares for the summer transfer window, they must identify multiple targets, given that several players will be out of contract.
One such target is England international Angel Gomes, whose contract with Lille expires at the end of the season.
Everton has shown interest in securing his services, but they face stiff competition.
According to The Guardian, West Ham has already made a contract offer to Gomes, reportedly worth £100,000 per week.
The 24-year-old is set to leave the French club this summer but has already turned down West Ham’s proposal.
Gomes is seeking a higher salary, which could place him among Everton’s top earners if they decide to meet his demands.
He previously declined a Premier League move in January, preferring to explore all his options in the summer.
Everton Faces Intense Competition for Gomes
If Everton is serious about signing Gomes, they will need to be financially prepared to meet his wage expectations.
With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Gomes holds all the leverage over his future, and several clubs are vying for his signature.
Alongside West Ham, Barcelona has been linked with the midfielder, while Tottenham Hotspur has also expressed interest.
Despite the competition, Everton is considered a strong potential destination for Gomes. The prospect of playing at Bramley-Moore Dock could be an attractive factor in their favor.
However, securing his signature will be a challenge, as the Toffees will have to fend off significant interest from top clubs.
