Reality emerges of Jordan Pickford's Everton transfer after social media buzz
Jordan Pickford has been sensationally linked with a move to Tigres from Everton this transfer window.
The Liga MX side, who have won the league title eight times, are looking for a replacement for Nahuel Guzman and there have been talks of the Toffees' goalkeeper potentially being a target.
As things stand, the 32-year-old is under contract at the Blues until 2029 and has played a key role for David Moyes in L3.
Social media in Mexico has been abuzz over the possibility of Pickford leaving Hill Dickinson Stadium for El Volcan.
The story has become viral among supporters of the Greater Monterrey club.
Having one of England's 2026 World Cup stars at Tigres would certainly make headlines, but there may not be much truth in it.
Why Jordan Pickford transfer to Tigres looks unrealistic
Tigres fans have been left dreaming after speculation that Pickford could be making his way to the club.
There have even been talks of the Liga MX side being willing to pay around £12million for the English goalkeeper.
According to the print edition of Capital Estado de Mexico on 7 August, Pickford's move to Mexico appears to be a "social media rumour" from entertainment accounts and content creators.
The chance of the shot-stopper's arrival in Greater Monterrey looks far from reality.
Why David Moyes still needs new goalkeeper this summer
While Pickford is expected to be Moyes' number one next season, there's uncertainty around his backup.
Mark Travers is attracting interest from Middlesbrough and Everton will need a replacement for him.
Wolves shot-stopper Sam Johnstone has emerged as an option for the Blues should the former Bournemouth player leave Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Friedkin Group have left fans frustrated so far this summer due to the lack of spending at the Merseyside outfit.
So far, the Toffees have signed Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Christian Norgaard, but they certainly need more.
A right-back has been a priority for the Blues since last summer, but they're yet to address that issue.
The Merseyside outfit's attack also clearly needs more quality, and while Jack Grealish is wanted back in L3, Beto and Thierno Barry need more competition in the squad.
