On Tuesday, Alfredo Pedulla reported Everton are a candidate to sign Victor Lindelöf.
The Toffees were competing with Brentford and Fiorentina, with the Italian side having made an offer for the Swede.
Today’s Corriere dello Sport reports La Viola are making progress in a move for the 31-year-old, but Everton have also made a concrete approach.
The centre-back has already made a decision and has rejected the offer from David Moyes’ side.
This is because he seems keen on a move to Fiorentina and is in ‘constant constant’ with the club’s management. David de Gea’s presence at the Florence club is proving key and he is playing a role in bringing Lindelöf to the side.
La Nazione also report, as relayed by LabaroViola, that the Spanish goalkeeper is pushing for his former Manchester United teammate to accept Fiorentina’s approach and this is likely to damage Everton’s advances.
They report a Brentford offer is also on the table for Lindelöf but Fiorentina are closest to landing him.
