According to the Spanish outlet, the Toffees made a formal offer for the 21-year-old on the morning of the transfer deadline day after his recent performances caught Merseyside’s attention. It is believed that the proposed deal was a loan with no buyout option, but Victor Orta turned it down, not even considering Liverpool’s bid during the window.
Everton miss out on vital full-back signing before 11pm deadline
With Nathan Patterson yet to make his anticipated comeback from injury, and Seamus Coleman still sidelined, David Moyes has been using Jake O’Brien at right-back.
Although the 23-year-old has impressed out of position, it should not be seen as a long-term fix at Goodison Park when a natural right-back could have been signed during the window.
Of course, Ashley Young has been in fine form this season, but with just a handful of starts in the Premier League recently, it is clear that a young and exciting talent is wanted by the Toffees.
Sanchez, 21, has notched two goals and two assists in 17 La Liga appearances this season, with only eight of them coming from the start, showing just how influential he can be in the final third.
Although he hasn’t played for the Spanish national team yet, he has made a lot of appearances for the Under-21 squad and is probably going to try to get his first cap in the upcoming season.
Given his first-team accomplishments with Sevilla in La Liga and his several Champions League appearances, Sanchez would have undoubtedly had a positive influence on Merseyside.
It is unfortunate that Moyes’ squad was unable to close a deal before the transfer window closed, as teams like Liverpool were also interested in signing him.
In other Everton news, a late agreement to recruit a Serie A attacker was presented to the Toffees.
