Everton are on alert for Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Sweden international’s current contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of the season, and he will be a free agent in the coming months as things stand.
David Moyes could be without a centre-back this summer as Michael Keane’s deal at Goodison Park is ending.
The Friedkin Group (TFG) have some important decisions to make soon regarding who they want to keep ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Everton eye Lindelof as Man United contract not on table
Man United haven’t held talks with Lindelof over a new contract amid interest from the Blues, according to CaughtOffside.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The news outlet reports (6 March) that the 30-year-old’s situation at Old Trafford has put the Toffees on alert as they eye a bargain deal.
Competition (20242/25) Appearances
Premier League 6
Europa League 2
FA Cup 1
Carabao Cup 2
It isn’t unsurprising that the Swedish defender, with 70 international caps, has not been handed fresh terms after falling down the pecking order in Ruben Amorim’s team.
Everton have all but sealed Premier League survival, but it remains to be seen whether the centre-back will want to move to the Merseyside outfit soon.

Moyes needs Lindelof transfer for experience
Moyes has done a brilliant job at Goodison Park since his return, and TFG must now do everything in their power to back the Scotsman with transfers.
Sean Dyche had the Toffees struggling near the relegation zone, but the former West Ham United boss has turned things around quickly.
Beto has been a revelation under Moyes, with the Guinea-Bissau striker finding his shooting boots when the Blues have needed him the most.
The former Udinese centre-forward has been the only fit natural number nine at the Scottish manager’s disposal for some time now, but that hasn’t affected the Merseysiders’ results.
With the Toffees six games unbeaten in the Premier League, Moyes has done the unexpected at Goodison Park.
The fans didn’t have high expectations under Dyche, but there is renewed hope after what has happened in recent weeks.
It would be foolish of the American owners not to add quality reinforcements in the coming months and give Moyes the chance to make even more progress next season.
Lindelof might not be the most exciting name out there, but the defender would bring immense experience to the Blues if they did sign him.
