Everton prepared to offer asking price to sign ‘extraordinary’ midfielder as West Ham show interest.
Everton are now looking at potentially bringing in a new midfielder this summer from one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The Toffees are one of the clubs who are going into the month of June knowing they need to sell players to comply with PSR rules.
However, there could be a major boost on the horizon for Everton with Farhad Moshiri in talks over a potential new takeover deal.
Talks with 777 Partners has now seemingly collapsed following their missed deadline at the end of last month to purchase the club.
New ownership at Goodison Park could see Everton backed by a considerably wealthier group as the club get ready to move into their new stadium.
But for this summer, the Toffees are believed to be eyeing a midfielder who could demand an asking price of just €10m (£8.5m).

There is a lot of talk surrounding what may need to be done this month in terms of player exits at Goodison Park with the PSR deadline looming.
But signings will also have to be on the agenda for Everton with the Toffees enduring their struggles for periods of the 2023/24 seaosn.
In the end, Everton escaped relegation with a comfortable cushion on Luton Town, but there were certainly periods of the campaign where it looked to be a real fight.
Stronger sides are arguably coming up in Leicester City and Southampton, so work is going to have to be done over the coming months to bolster Sean Dyche‘s squad.
