Sources reveal truth behind Everton agreement for Pape Gueye transfer
Everton haven't made a move to sign Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye, Goodison News understands.
The Senegal international has been suggested as a transfer target for the Toffees, but sources in Spain have revealed there's "nothing" in those rumours.
In the 2025-26 campaign, the 27-year-old was voted the SPORTY LALIGA MVP, given to the Spanish league's best African player.
Gueye has been suggested as a target at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but there seems to be no truth to those claims.
David Moyes could certainly do with a few quality additions to his engine room ahead of next season, but they aren't working on a deal for the Senegalese for now.
The central midfielder has been one of the standout players in LaLiga over the last two seasons and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
How much will Everton have to pay if they pursue Pape Gueye?
There was a report earlier in July that stated Everton had reached an agreement to sign Gueye from Villarreal.
While the ex-Olympique Marseille ace has been linked with the Blues, the Spanish club are yet to receive any formal offers for him.
Goodison News have been told that the midfielder is valued at around £34.2million at Estadio de la Ceramica
For now, it looks like the Merseyside outfit have no intention of splashing the cash on Gueye this transfer window.
David Moyes must have one concern at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton have confirmed Idrissa Gueye's departure after his contract expired.
The Senegalese veteran's exit will surely leave a void in the Toffees' midfield and his valuable experience will undoubtedly be missed.
Hayden Hackney has arrived in L3, but it remains to be seen whether the Middlesbrough prospect can cut it in the Premier League.
James Garner's injury isn't encouraging, with Merlin Rohl playing in the engine room during pre-season, as Moyes prepares for the upcoming campaign.
Tim Iroegbunam, Charly Alcaraz and Harrison Armstrong's futures seem up in the air at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Merseyside outfit's back-up central-midfield options arguably need to be better if they hope to qualify for Europe next season, something fans were disappointed to miss out on during the 2025-26 campaign.
