Everton make call to sign Inter player as 'certainties' given - report

Everton have reached out to Inter Milan over a possible deal for winger Luis Henrique, with “certainties” emerging with regards to any transfer.

Henrique has also been strongly linked with a move to fellow Premier League side Bournemouth this window.

Everton have yet to make any new signings this month, with Harry Tyrer the only confirmed permanent exit so far.

However, Everton have been linked with Al-Nassr attacker Wesley – as well as many others – ahead of the window closing next Monday evening.

If a deal is to be struck for Henrique, though, then it will mean the Friedkins stretching deep into their pockets.

Bournemouth only side to so far bid for Luis Henrique

Henrique only joined Inter from Marseille last summer on a five-year deal, but already he may be on the way out of San Siro.

In an update posted on X on Wednesday by Italian journalist Fabrizio Biasin, who has over 250,000 followers, it was reported that Everton are one of three teams to have contacted Inter over Henrique.

Aston Villa and Bournemouth are also said to have reached out, but only the Cherries have so far made a concrete offer, with that said to be in the region of £26million.

It is therefore over to Everton to table a bid that matches that if they are indeed serious about their interest in the Brazilian.

Biasin also adds that Inter will not give the green light for Henrique’s exit until they have “certainties of at least one incoming signing”.

What type of player is Everton target Henrique?

Henrique has played 17 times for Inter in Serie A this season, 11 of those being starts, while appearing a further six times in other competitions.

The 24-year-old has no goals and only one assist, but he has been used largely in a defensive sense under Cristian Chivu.

He had more of an eye for goal in Ligue 1 with Marseille, having scored seven goals and assisted the same amount in 33 outings last season.

It ultimately depends on how David Moyes intends to use him, then, if indeed this interest is anything more than just at the initial stage.

For the likely fee it will cost, however, plus the fact there are moving parts with Inter needing a replacement, it does not seem as though this is one to pursue.
