Everton midfielder Amadou Onana transfer update emerges as shortlist claim made
Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has found himself on the transfer shortlist of many clubs in the January window, according to Sky Sports.
The news outlet reported on 2 January that any incomings at Goodison Park will depend on the outgoings due to the club’s scrappy financial situation.
The Belgian had been linked with a move away from the Toffees in the summer and continues to be looked at by clubs.
Tough situation
Everton must prioritise retaining Onana due to his pivotal role and promising potential as the 22-year-old midfielder has showcased that he’s just not one for the present but also the future.
His performances have attracted interest from multiple clubs, including those in the Champions League, signifying his quality on the European stage.
The Belgian’s value extends beyond his on-field contributions as he represents a valuable investment for the Toffees’ future.
Selling him, especially for a substantial fee exceeding £50million, could provide a short-term financial boost but risks undermining the team’s progress and long-term competitiveness.
The financial constraints at Everton make player sales tempting and that could be the reason they part ways with the midfielder.
While the allure of Champions League football could be tempting for Onana, Everton should emphasise their commitment to his development and involvement in their project but given their off-field challenges, it might get difficult to convince him to stay.
