Everton target Bertolacci as first signing
Everton are supposedly "very close" to signing midfielder Andrea Bertolacci from AC Milan for €6m. | Thursday, 12 July 2018That's the contention of Italian transfer gossip site, TuttoMercatoWeb who claim that "an agreement is imminent" between the two clubs over a transfer that would see the 27-year-old sign a five-year contract worth €2m a year at Goodison Park.
A product of AS Roma's youth system, Bertolacci rose to prominence during a loan spell at Genoa four years ago.
Milan signed him for €20m in 2015 but he never hit the heights expected of him at the San Siro and he returned to Genoa on loan again last season.
