“Billionaire Dan Friedkin’s Everton Takeover to Unleash Roma’s Secret Weapon: Global Superstar Signing Will Shock the Premier League!”

Now that David Moyes has secured Jarrod Branthwaite’s future with a new contract, his attention has shifted to strengthening the right-back position.

One name on the radar is Roma’s Zeki Celik, who is entering the final year of his contract, raising questions about his long-term future.

With Kenny Tete deciding to remain at Fulham, Everton are now actively exploring other options.

According to Foot Italia (3 July), Celik has become a “serious option” for the Toffees. The 28-year-old joined Roma in 2022 and was part of the squad that reached the Europa League final.

In addition to Everton, Fulham, Ajax, and Besiktas are also interested in the Turkish international.

However, the final say rests with Dan Friedkin, who uniquely serves as both Everton’s owner and Roma’s chairman.

If a deal is to be done, Friedkin’s approval will be crucial, potentially giving Moyes a major advantage in the race to sign Celik.

This situation highlights the value of Everton’s ties with Roma. While the Toffees shouldn’t rely solely on their sister club, it would be wise to explore opportunities within that network.

Roma have several experienced players who could be enticed to join Moyes at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

With Roma boasting talent seasoned in European and international competition, Everton should view them as a viable source for reinforcements.

A successful deal for Celik could pave the way for further business between the two clubs as the summer transfer window progresses.
