Everton eye move for Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevic
Everton are in the mix to sign Crystal Palace midfielder, Luka Milivojevic, according to journalist Gerasimos Manolidis.
The Spor Time journalist has reported on Twitter that newly-promoted Fulham are also keen to land the highly experienced Premier League midfielder.
Milivojevic is unlikely to return to Olympiacos, but he is expected to depart Palace this summer.
Manolidis, who works for Greek newspaper SporTime, wrote on Twitter: “There is no chance Luka Milivojevic (will) return to Olympiacos this summer. Most likely, he will leave Crystal Palace, but there are several teams that are interested in him. Fulham and Everton are among them.”
Good move?
Milivojevic is a highly experienced midfielder. He joined the Eagles in 2016 from Olympiacos and has made over 175 appearances for the club in all competitions.
He has scored 58 goals in his club career thus far and has also represented the Serbian national team 38 times.
The former Red Star Belgrade midfielder saw his game time limited last season under Patrick Vieira and made only 15 appearances in the 2021-22 Premier League campaign.
The combative midfielder has a contract at the club till 2023, and he is likely to be available at a cut-price deal if he moves on.
Frank Lampard is keen on bolstering the midfield and Milivojevic would be a fantastic addition.
At 31, he still has got plenty of football left in him. He can bring quality and experience to the side, and would be an ideal candidate to replace Fabian Delph who is set to depart on a free transfer.
