Bayern Munich and PSG are two of five European clubs to have enquired about signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed he expects the Toffees to sell Onana once the transfer window reopens to help balance the books.
Football Insider revealed on 21 May that Everton will need to sell at least one of their “big” stars before they submit their accounts on 30 June.
O’Rourke admitted the Belgium international is the most likely candidate to leave Goodison Park, with Bayern and PSG ready to make a move to sign him.
Football Insider revealed on 25 May the club will accept a £50million bid for Onana’s services as they look to ensure some of their other star players remain on Merseyside next season.
The 22-year-old is under contract with the Toffees until 2027.
Amadou Onana could leave Everton as clubs race to sign him
Onana enjoyed a strong first season at Everton after joining the club in a £33million deal from French side Lille in 2022.
But he hasn’t really kicked on this year after being dropped from the starting lineup in four of the Toffees’ final six games of the campaign.
The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move away from Goodison in recent months as the club look to get on top of their financial situation.
O’Rourke suggested only one big player sale may be necessary this summer as Everton are desperate to ensure they don’t commit any further profit and sustainability (PSR) breaches.
Football Insider first revealed earlier this month the Toffees are planning to “sacrifice” Onana in a bid to keep hold of Jarrad Branthwaite.
The 21-year-old has received interest from several top clubs, but Football Insider revealed on 27 May that Everton have opened up talks with the defender about him remaining on Merseyside next season.
