Everton refuse to pay demands for new attacker transfer – report

Yankuba Minteh’s potential transfer to Everton has collapsed, according to FootballTransfers. The Toffees refused to meet Newcastle United’s £30million asking price for the 19-year-old forward, who is now likely to join Lyon.

The French club has made an offer to Newcastle, who need to offload players to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).Everton’s decision to pull out of the deal is understandable, given their current financial constraints. The club is awaiting Dan Friedkin’s takeover completion and must be cautious with their summer signings. Iliman Ndiaye’s potential arrival, announced by Fabrizio Romano, will already be a significant expense for Sean Dyche’s squad.

Minteh’s impressive performance on loan at Feyenoord, scoring 11 goals and five assists, made him an attractive addition to Everton’s squad, which lacks depth in the winger department. However, the asking price was too steep for the Toffees, who must prioritize sensible spending until a larger sale is made at Goodison Park.Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite are rumored to be leaving Everton for big-money moves, but the club is keen to retain Branthwaite. As the transfer window unfolds, Everton fans will be watching closely to see how the club navigates its financial situation and builds its squad for the 2024/25 season.

In the meantime, Everton may turn their attention to alternative signings, such as Manchester City’s Issa Kabore, for whom they have tabled a £10.9million offer. As the transfer landscape shifts, one thing is clear: Everton must be strategic and prudent in their dealings to ensure a successful season ahead.
