There is a lot of interest in Amadou Onana this summer, and Everton is trying to sell him for as much as £80 million, according to TEAMtalk.
The newspaper stated on its website on February 27 that as Barcelona pursues the Belgian midfield player, the Toffees want an even bigger payday than the €60 million [£51.3 million] that has been reported in Europe.
Every one of the so-called Big Six in the Premier League has reportedly expressed interest in the 22-year-old, according to TEAMtalk, making it “likely” that an agreement would be struck with one suitor by the conclusion of the season, with Chelsea’s interest being “concrete.”
After paying £33.5 million to Lille for Onana in 2022, a sale for £80 million would give Everton a “decent” profit on the player [Sky Sports], even after including in the 20% sell-on clause that was negotiated at the time with the French team.
When Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City pursue Amadou Onana, will Everton earn a substantial sum of money?
With so many high rollers circling, it appears highly likely that the Toffees will receive the offer they want, but whether they actually will is another story.
Given that they are only ready to offer such a little fee, Barcelona appears to be unlikely to win the race in any case—that is, unless they come up with a very compelling cash-plus-players deal.
Since Onana has stayed at Goodison Park for several transfer windows when it was anticipated he would leave, Sean Dyche is unlikely to want to see him depart, and there is no guarantee that an agreement will be struck.
Everton might have to sell in order to acquire, even if there are still a lot of moving pieces in this scenario, including the ongoing 777 Partners takeover delay and the possibility of rivals filing compensation claims.
Therefore, if the midfield player is offered the lion’s share of £100 million, he might be viewed as a reasonable sacrifice. However, before making a decision, it will be necessary to evaluate the futures of Idrissa Gana Gueye, 34, whose contract is expiring, and James Garner, 22, who is also rumored to be a Spurs target [TEAMtalk, 18 February].
