Austute ManEverton has set a price tag of £6.7 million for striker Neal Maupay, who is wanted by Marseille before the August 30 transfer deadline. According to Le 10 Sport, the French club has already had a loan offer rejected by Everton, who are keen to sell the player outright.
Maupay was an unused substitute in Everton’s 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, indicating that he is not in manager Sean Dyche’s plans. The striker has expressed his desire to move to Marseille, and it is now up to the French club to meet Everton’s asking price.
The situation is complicated by Everton’s need for funds to make their own signings before the transfer window closes. With only 14 fit senior players available, Dyche is keen to bring in new talent, but the club’s financial situation is a major obstacle.
Maupay’s experience in the Premier League makes him an attractive proposition for Marseille, who are looking to strengthen their attack. However, the French club will need to act quickly if they are to secure the player’s signature before the transfer deadline.
In other Everton news, Mark Goldbridge has expressed amusement at some of the transfer rumors surrounding the club. With the transfer window set to close soon, Everton fans are eagerly awaiting news of new signings to bolster the team’s chances of avoiding relegation.
