Report: Club Aiming for Record Sale as Everton Target ‘Exceptional’ Talent for Summer Move
Everton Added Just One Player in the Winter Window
Everton remained quiet in the January transfer window, with Carlos Alcaraz from Flamengo being their sole addition.
Operating under strict PSR regulations, the club opted to save funds for a more active summer window.
The Friedkin Group is set to support David Moyes with a significant budget ahead of the move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
Club officials are already making plans for what is expected to be a busy 12 weeks, with a talented midfielder from Europe now on their radar.
Everton Targeting Mahamadou Doumbia
According to JuveFC, Everton are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Royal Antwerp’s Mahamadou Doumbia.
The 20-year-old midfielder has also attracted interest from Juventus, Napoli, and Brighton.
Doumbia has impressed in the Belgian top flight this season, scoring three goals in 19 appearances.
Antwerp hopes to secure a record sale, setting a £13m asking price—an affordable sum for Everton’s new ownership.
Doumbia Seeks Regular Game Time
While Juventus are reportedly confident of signing Doumbia, the young talent prioritizes regular playing time.
He is unwilling to move unless guaranteed minutes, which could give Everton an advantage over the Serie A giants.
With Idrissa Gueye’s contract expiring in the summer, Doumbia could emerge as an ideal successor to the experienced midfielder.
