Everton have tabled a £24million bid for Barcelona sensation Vitor Roque
Toffees aim to strengthen attack amid question marks over Calvert-Lewin and Beto’s future.
Barcelona rejects offer immediately but Blues still keen.
Everton have tabled a £24million bid for Barcelona forward Vitor Roque, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.
The Toffees are keen to bolster their attacking options before the transfer deadline as Sean Dyche looks to avoid another relegation battle after keeping the team in the Premier League last season despite an eight-point deduction.
With question marks surrounding the future of strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto, the Blues are looking at potential options and the Brazilian sensation has emerged as a target.
Roque arrived from Atletico Paranaense with a huge reputation of being the next big thing from Brazil, with scout Jacek Kulig describing the forward as “truly magnificent” despite his age. But it hasn’t worked out for him at the Camp Nou and an exit now looks inevitable.
Everton have already re-signed Jack Harrison on another loan from Leeds United, while also adding Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom to their options from Marseille and Napoli respectively.
