Danish midfielder Jesper Lindstrom is close to joining Everton on a season-long loan from Napoli.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the details of the move have been agreed upon.
Everton will pay approximately €3 million for the loan, with an option to make the transfer permanent for an additional €22 million next summer.
The 24-year-old’s negotiations with Everton are in the final stages.
Lindstrom’s departure from Napoli isn’t surprising, given his disappointing first season in Serie A.
After joining from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer on a five-year contract, he failed to score or assist in 22 league appearances.
Meanwhile, Napoli may see more attacking players leave. Victor Osimhen is reportedly close to signing with Paris Saint-Germain.
Additionally, Juventus is showing interest in Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone, both of whom had limited playing time last season. While Simeone might be open to a move, Raspadori could potentially play a significant role in the team’s new setup.
Note: There seems to be an error in the original text regarding Antonio Conte.
Conte is not currently Napoli’s manager, so I’ve omitted references to him in this paraphrase to avoid confusion.
