Everton could be set for double raid on the Italian market with Atalanta’s Raoul Bellanova and Parma’s Mandela Keita both on their radar.
Sport Italia kick things off today, reporting on Everton’s interest in the right-back in a brief post on their transfer blog.
€20-25m for Bellanova
The website reports that Raoul Bellanova is set to leave Atalanta this summer. According to their information, Everton and Real Sociedad are interested in the 26-year-old right back. Atalanta, for their part, want €20-25m.
There is no mention of whether Everton would be willing to pay that figure. But their need for a new right-back has long been established.
Reports in both Italy have linked the Toffees with a move for him. Sport Witness covered a report on the 26th stating that he could be on his way to England this summer. Now Sport Italia report that a deal is there to be done if Everton want it.

It might not be the only time they cross paths with Atalanta either as the Italian side are also interested in Mandela Keita.
Sport Witness have covered reports over the last two days about Everton’s interest in the midfielder. The first of those stated that they had already opened talks with Parma and the player’s agents about a move this summer.
A second report then explained that he would cost €25m this summer. That insisted that Atalanta were also in the mix for him as they seek a replacement for Ederson.
Parma Live report information from Tuttosport on the matter. They state that Atalanta re ‘attentive’ to Keita this summer, but Everton are ‘also tracking him’. According to their information, the Italian side see him as a perfect replacement for Ederson.
For now, it seems they and Everton are just making enquiries. But the two sides could be doing business and competing against each other at the same time if the latest from Italy is to be believed.
