“SHOCKING Everton Blunder EXPOSED! Fabrizio Romano Drops £21.8M Bombshell That’ll Leave Fans Speechless!”
Everton Struggling to Bolster Squad Amidst Challenging Transfer Window
Thierno Barry remains Everton’s sole significant signing so far this summer, and with the new season approaching, the squad is in desperate need of further reinforcements across the pitch.
The Toffees are currently on their pre-season tour in the United States, but the group lacks depth, and their efforts in the transfer market have been underwhelming.
Manager David Moyes had expressed strong interest in one player but now faces disappointment as another target looks set to join a different club.
Everton Miss Out on Samuel Lino
Everton had been pursuing Atletico Madrid winger Samuel Lino, who was made available for transfer by the Spanish side.
The Brazilian, known for his versatility across the attacking line, was seen as a potential asset for the Toffees. However, they have now lost out on his signing.
Flamengo, recently boosted financially following their Club World Cup involvement, have stepped ahead of Everton in the race.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian outfit is close to finalising a £21.8 million deal for Lino, with the move expected to be sealed within the next 48 hours.
If Everton were serious about securing Lino, they’ll need to reflect on how this opportunity slipped away.
Urgent Need for Attacking Options
At under £22 million, Lino represented solid value, particularly as a left-wing option. With the deal now off the table, Everton must act swiftly to bolster their attacking ranks.
There is a clear need for reinforcements up front, especially on the right flank where options are thin.
Jack Grealish has been linked with a potential loan, but at least two more attacking arrivals are needed.
Speed and depth are crucial to complement Iliman Ndiaye and Carlos Alcaraz. However, with a frustrating window so far, Moyes may find himself underprepared for the opening weeks of the campaign.
To make matters worse, Everton are winless in two friendlies and are without Jarrad Branthwaite on tour, adding to their pre-season concerns.
