Everton are reportedly keen on striker Adolfo Gaich.
San Lorenzo striker Adolfo Gaich is reportedly interesting Everton – and agent Pablo Caro has offered his view on the situation.
Everton have been strongly linked with River Plate midfielder Santiago Sosa in recent weeks, and it seems that one of his teammates is also of interest.
Striker Gaich has been playing alongside Sosa in the Argentina side at the Under-20 World Cup in Poland recently, and his red-hot form has turned heads.
Gaich scored three goals in four games at the tournament, finding the net against South Africa, Portugal and Mali before Argentina crashed out in the last 16.
The 6ft 3in target man has great physicality, and has already scored three times in 15 games for San Lorenzo’s first team having come up through their ranks in recent years.
Gaich’s performances are now attracting interest, as Marca Claro claim that Everton are ready to meet the $15m (£11.7million) release clause in the youngster’s contract to bring him to Goodison Park.
They also carry quotes from agent Caro after speaking to radio station La Cicloneta, in which he suggested that the Everton issue is ‘not yet clear’, suggesting that they’re interested but the level of their pursuit is unknown yet, whilst clubs in Italy are already in talks, meaning Everton may need to move quickly.
“We are talking to clubs in Italy, but the Everton issue is not yet clear,” said Caro. “Gaich is in the hands of many clubs, but there is nothing concrete yet. Looking to the future, one would like him to go through the European market, I think you have to look for that to find the fullness of the player,” he added.
