Report: Everton Target £25m Defender with Remarkable Rise from Bricklayer to Star
Everton Begin Preparations for Summer Transfer Window.
The Friedkin Group is preparing to support David Moyes with a significant budget as Everton’s financial concerns ease.
The American investors aim to restore Everton to their former glory and are making key hires for their recruitment team.
Angus Kinnear hopes to bring two Leeds chiefs to Goodison Park, but Moyes has different plans, targeting two of his former West Ham United colleagues.
While this process unfolds, Everton’s current recruitment staff are compiling a list of summer targets.
One report from Europe suggests they could move for a £25m-rated Juventus star.
Everton Target Federico Gatti
According to TuttoJuve, Everton is eyeing a summer move for Juventus centre-back Federico Gatti.
Newcastle United, a Premier League rival, is also monitoring the Italy international after showing interest last year.
Gatti has postponed contract discussions until the end of the season, keeping his options open.
Juventus valued him at £25m last summer and may need to sell if a renewal agreement isn’t reached.
Gatti’s Remarkable Journey
The 26-year-old has had an incredible rise. Just a few years ago, he was playing in Italy’s sixth tier while working as a bricklayer.
A late bloomer, Gatti’s talent was recognized when he reached Serie B, catching Juventus’ attention.
Since then, he has developed into one of Italy’s top defenders and is now attracting significant Premier League interest.
