Influential agents could involve in talks as Everton eye Bruno Guimaraes
Everton are one of the clubs reportedly interested in signing Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in the January transfer window.
According to reports from Football London, any potential deal for Guimaraes will involve powerful broker Kia Joorabchian as an intermediary.
Giuliano Bertolucci, one of the most influential Brazilian agents, could also help Joorabchian in brokering the deal for the highly-rated midfielder.
The report claims that the French club could demand a fee of around £38million for the defensive midfielder, with Arsenal also said to be keen.
Superb signing
The Evening Standard reported yesterday that no club has made a firm offer for Bruno as yet, and it remains to be seen whether Everton can secure a deal for the midfielder.
The Toffees are operating on a tight budget and they may find it hard to match Lyon’s valuation of the player.
Everton have made two signings already this January, and they are expected to make one or two more this month.
He is a fantastic box-to-box midfielder whose playing style resembles that of Liverpool’s Fabinho.
The Brazilian doesn’t score much but he is very influential in the middle of the park. He has got a wide range of passing and has the ability to find players like Kevin de Bruyne.
With excellent dribbling skills and bundles of energy, he would be a dream signing for the Toffees, one who can make a genuine impact.
