The
FC Barcelona is very
close to close the transfer of the Portuguese midfielder A
ndre Gomes . The Everton of the Premier League, the club in which it is on loan this season, is the best placed although there is another team that is also interested in the signing of the Portuguese footballer.
André Gomes, 25, signed for
Barça from Valencia in the preseason of the 2016/17 season in exchange for around 37 million euros to which some clauses could be added.
After two campaigns with Blaugrana, he found some difficulties to take play in the starting lineup and
in the 2018/19 season he joined Everton on loan
in exchange for some 2.25 million euros. He has a contract with Barça until June 30, 2021 and an exit clause of 100 million euros.
Everton would be willing to pay between 25 and 30 million euros for the permanent transfer of the Portuguese midfielder, and there
is a second club interested in getting the signing of André Gomes.
The Portuguese midfielder has
played 23 Premier League matches (1 goal and 1 assist) and 2 in the FA Cup (1 assist). He arrived injured to Liverpool and had to fight a serious muscular problem before having minutes and games for Marco Silva's team, who continues to bet on his compatriot despite
his performance have been somewhat different.
André Gomes joined Everton this season along with two other former members of the Barça squad, French left-back
Lucas Digne, sold for 20 million euros, and Colombian central defender
Yerry Mina for which they paid 30 million euros. Both signed a contract with the Toffees until June 2023.
While
Digne has settled in the starting lineup and plays regularly (30 games, 2,521 minutes, 3 goals and 5 assists),
Mina plays more sporadically (14 games, 935 minutes, 1 goal).
