Vecino has been targeted by a host of Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. However, the Toffees remained the ”most credible option” for the 28-year-old midfielder who has dropped down the pecking order under Antonio Conte.
Last week, FC Inter News claimed that Inter Milan would accept an offer in the region of €18-20m (£17m) for the midfielder. With Christian Eriksen close to signing for Inter Milan, the Serie A giants are ready to offload the midfielder.
Schira also claims that the Toffees are close to signing Brazilian striker Everton Soares this month.
Earlier this week, Daily Star (h/t Zero Hora) reported that Everton are close to sealing the signing of Soares.
Everton have been in touch with the Brazilian club over a move for the forward with Carlo Ancelotti eyeing a £30 million deal. Although Schira hasn’t disclosed the particulars of the deal, it seems both the clubs are close to reaching an agreement for the 23-year-old striker.
He has been one of the consistent performers for Gremio in the Brazilian top flight and impressed during the Copa America this summer.
