Report: Everton Target £33m Real Madrid Prospect in Bid to Outmaneuver Carlo Ancelotti
Everton’s January Window Remains Quiet with Just One New Arrival at Goodison Park.
Carlos Alcaraz was Everton’s only addition in January, arriving on an initial loan from Flamengo.
If certain clauses are met, his move will become permanent for £15m—a deal that has surprised Brazilian media, highlighting Kevin Thelwell’s negotiation skills.
Beyond that, the Friedkin Group opted to hold back on major spending, positioning the club for a more aggressive approach in the summer.
David Moyes is expected to receive significant backing, and Everton have already set their sights on a £33m-rated Real Madrid target.
Everton’s Interest in Juanlu Sanchez
According to Mundo Deportivo, Everton are keen on signing Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez, having already made an attempt in January.
The Toffees submitted a loan offer with an option to buy on deadline day, but Sevilla rejected the proposal.
Despite this setback, Everton remain determined to land the 21-year-old in the summer.
However, they face competition from Real Madrid, meaning Moyes will hope to outmaneuver Carlo Ancelotti in the race for his signature.
Sanchez’s Price Tag
Sevilla are negotiating a new contract with Sanchez, aiming to include a £33m release clause.
Currently, his clause is believed to be around half that amount, making it clear that Sevilla are eager to secure his long-term future before the summer window opens.
Everton must persuade the Spanish defender to reject other offers in the coming months, or they risk being priced out of a deal. Meanwhile, Premier League rivals Brighton are also closely monitoring his situation.
