Everton are reportedly monitoring AC Milan right-back Davide Calabria.
Everton have been reportedly monitoring AC Milan right-back Davide Calabria for a long time despite his recent breakthrough into Gennaro Gattuso’s side – but Milan fans have laughed off the Toffees interest in their young star.
Italian website CalcioMercato claim the 21-year-old is a long-term target for the Toffees, with Everton keeping tabs prior to the Italy Under-21 international starring under new manager Gennaro Gattuso.
Known for his ability to get forward, Calabria even found the back of the net for the first time in a Milan shirt on Sunday as he finished an excellent move to chip Roma goalkeeper Alisson in a 2-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico.
It is believed that Milan have issued a hands-off warning to Everton, with Gattuso desperate to keep hold of one of his rising stars as Calabria’s emergence coincides with an excellent run of form under the aggressive manager.
AC Milan fans have reacted in similar fashion, laughing off Everton’s interest in their right-back as Calabria continues to shine on the right side of their defence.
joked that it was March 1, and not April Fool’s Day.
