“Everton’s JAW-DROPPING £30M Plot to Snag a SENSATIONAL Striker Who CRUSHED Real Madrid with FOUR Goals in ONE Game!”
Everton have reportedly set their sights on Lazio striker Valentin Castellanos ahead of the summer transfer window, according to CaughtOffside.
With their Premier League safety secured earlier in the season, the Toffees have now shifted focus toward strengthening their squad for the upcoming campaign.
While they finished a safe distance from the relegation zone, David Moyes is expected to target new additions to help push the club to the next level.
Everton are also preparing for a number of departures this summer. Veterans Ashley Young, Asmir Begovic, and Joao Virginia have already confirmed their exits.
Meanwhile, key players such as Idrissa Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all approaching the end of their contracts.
Everton Target Lazio’s Castellanos
CaughtOffside reports that Everton are among the clubs interested in signing Castellanos, who has enjoyed a standout season at Lazio.
The Serie A side is expected to demand a fee in the region of £30 million for the 26-year-old striker, and Everton face competition from several other Premier League teams.
Castellanos has built a strong reputation in Europe for his goal-scoring abilities.
His standout moment came during his time with Girona when he scored four goals in a single match against Real Madrid—becoming the first player to do so since 1947.
A move for a centre-forward comes as no surprise for Everton. With Calvert-Lewin’s contract still unresolved, the club may need to reinforce their attacking options.
Armando Broja was brought in on loan but has yet to make a lasting impact.
Currently, Everton have Beto and Youssef Chermiti leading the line. While Beto has shown flashes of potential, his form has been inconsistent.
Chermiti, on the other hand, remains a young talent still adjusting to English football.
Bringing in Castellanos could provide the firepower and consistency Everton need to compete at a higher level next season.
