Everton transfers - Joaquin Correa £25.7m bid, Samuel Umtiti wanted, Thierry Small exit

Everton kicked-off their Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Southampton at Goodison Park at the weekend.

The Blues have so far signed Andros Townsend, Demarai Gray and Asmir Begovic but could yet make further squad improvements.

There is also the potential for additional outgoings as James Rodriguez continues to be linked with an exit from Goodison Park.

Although the Colombian midfielder could be on the way, which players could be Merseyside-bound?

We have rounded up the latest Everton transfer rumours.

According to Galetti, the Blues are prepared to offer around £25.7million including bonuses for the Argentine international.

The report also goes on to claim that Everton and the Serie A side are both locked in talks over a transfer.

The 27-year-old bagged 11 goals and six assists across all competitions last season before helping his country win the Copa America.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.

Where?

Daily Mirror via Goodison News.

What?

It is claimed in the report that the Blues are hoping to “cash in on Barcelona’s cash crisis” by landing the 27-year-old France international.

The report goes on to claim that the Barca defender is “among a string of big-name stars” who Barca “want to offload”.

The 2018 World Cup winner has made 132 appearances in all competitions for Barca since joining them five years ago.

Who?

Thierry Small.

Where?

Hampshire Live.

What?

According to the report, Southampton are considering a move for the Everton teenager.

The article claims Ralph Hasenhuttl is in the market for defensive reinforcements and whilst central defence is a priority, the Saints could also move for the left back too.

The Echo reported last month that Everton have offered Small a first professional deal but an agreement hasn't been reached.

While the ECHO also understands that there is currently a breakdown in communication between his new representatives and the club.
