Vlasic set to stay in Moscow

Nikola Vlasic could get the permanent move from Everton to CSKA Moscow that he has been seeking based on a report in Russia.

Journalist Vanya Karpov has tweeted that the Blues (amusingly, he cites Alisher Usmanov as the Everton "owner" who sanctioned the deal) have agreed to sell the Croatian for €16m.

Vlasic spent this past season on loan with CSKA and had a highly successful spell with them. His £8m move to Goodison from Hajduk Split was less successful and the prospects of him wanting to come back to Everton this summer seem slim.

Other reports in Moscow suggest that talks are still ongoing between the two clubs and that nothing has yet been decided.
