Everton please Lazio & Joaquin Correa with offer and wages
Everton have tabled a major offer to sign Lazio forward Joaquin Correa this month, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
The Calciomercato journalist has shared that the Toffees have pleased the Serie A club with a £30million offer.
On top of that, Everton are also said to have met the wage demands of the South American, who is yet to agree to the proposition.
Pedulla has shared that Correa is waiting on the decision of Inter Milan before accepting a move to the Premier League.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, the journalist shared the major update that will leave Toffees fans buzzing.
“Correa: Everton pleases him (4.5m per season plus bonuses) and the Lazio (£30million with bonuses).
“But the Tucu wants to wait for decision Inter (who has initiated contacts with Thuram) before accepting the Premier. He reiterated this in today’s meeting.”
Get it done.
This deal will only get done should James Rodriguez leave Goodison Park in the next fortnight.
With the Financial Fair Play rules hampering the Toffees massively, the Colombian is on the chopping block and has made it no secret he would love to leave.
Farhad Moshiri has the money to spend, that isn’t the issue, it is those FFP rules that will likely require us to sell or cut ties with some of our bigger earners.
Correa would offer great competition in the final third, with Moise Kean another who he could be replacing.
Should Inter go elsewhere in their attacker pursuit, the Toffees are ready to pounce with everything in place to get this deal done quickly.
