Everton hit with Armando Broja transfer 'blow' as Chelsea propose 'swap deal'

Pre-season is underway and preparations for the 22/23 campaign are in full swing after Everton returned to Finch Farm for training this week.

Some members of Frank Lampard's squad have already departed this summer with Richarlison the highest profile exit after completing a move to Tottenham Hotspur late last week. The Blues have, though, signed James Tarkowski, who joins on a free transfer from Burnley.

However, there's still plenty of work to do before the new season kicks-off next month, so here's a round-up of all the latest Everton transfer news and gossip from around the globe.

Who?

Armando Broja

talkSPORT

What?

Everton have been handed a potential blow in their pursuit of Chelsea star Armando Broja.

Earlier this week, it was suggested the 20-year-old could look to depart Stamford Bridge this summer if he isn't part of Thomas Tuchel's pre-season plans, alerting the likes of Everton, West Ham United and Newcastle United. However, now talkSPORT claim Chelsea could use Napoli's interest in the player to strike a deal for Nigeria international Victor Osimhen.

The London club have parted ways with former Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, who has joined Inter Milan on loan for the upcoming season, which means they are in need of a replacement - and Osimhen could fit the bill. The report adds Napoli are among the clubs tracking Broja and including him in a deal could help lower their demands for Osimhen.

Voetbal International

What?

Dutch side SC Cambuur are 'closing in' on a loan move for Everton goalkeeper Joao Virginia.

Outlet Voetbal International claim the final details of the transfer need to be ironed out before the move can be completed, however.

The Portugal Under-21 international pent last season on loan in his homeland, with Sporting Lisbon, and if this report is anything to go by, he looks set to continue his development elsewhere on a temporary basis.

Who?

Matheus Nunes

Where?

O Jogo

What?

Rumoured Everton target Matheus Nunes has 'rejected' a move to Goodison Park as he's holding out for a top Premier League club.

Portuguese outlet O Jogo suggests Sporting are 'open' to offers for the midfielder as they're willing to cash in on the star. However, despite widespread reports of interest from English clubs, he has so far rejected Everton, Newcastle and Wolves.

Chelsea and Liverpool have also been linked with the player, although it is Thomas Tuchel's side who reportedly hold the most interest, with reports they're preparing a bid.
