Everton make offers to sign player from prospective sister club – report

Everton Football Club has made offers to sign Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio.

The 22-year-old Italian has been impressing in Serie A, making 45 appearances for Roma last season under both Jose Mourinho and Daniele De Rossi. Bournemouth is also reportedly interested in signing Bove, who is allowed to leave Roma this summer.The interest in Bove comes as Dan Friedkin, the owner of Roma, is on the brink of completing a takeover of Everton. Friedkin’s takeover is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, and it is believed that this will make it easier for Everton to sign Bove.Everton is also in advanced talks to sign another young midfielder, Tim Iroegbunam, from Aston Villa.

The club is looking to strengthen its squad, and the signing of Bove and Iroegbunam would be a significant boost.However, it is unclear whether Everton will be able to complete a permanent deal for Bove, or if a loan move is more likely. The club’s ability to sign players will depend on who leaves Goodison Park this summer, with Amadou Onana expected to depart. Onana has given interviews indicating that he is ready to move on, and multiple clubs have already shown interest in signing him.

Bove has more top-level experience than Iroegbunam, having already made 92 first-team appearances for Roma. His signing would be a significant addition to Sean Dyche’s squad, which is currently thin on numbers. There is a need for wide options to support Dwight McNeil, and Jack Harrison returning from Leeds United is a “key ambition” for the club.In other Everton news, the club believes that an exit-linked ace is happy to remain at the club. This is a boost for the team, which is looking to build a strong squad for the upcoming season.

Overall, Everton’s interest in Bove is a significant development in the transfer market. The club’s ability to sign players will depend on the outcome of Friedkin’s takeover and who leaves Goodison Park this summer. However, the signing of Bove and Iroegbunam would be a significant boost to the squad, and would demonstrate the club’s commitment to building a strong team for the future.
