Boca Juniors president Daniel Angelici has confirmed Everton have held talks with the club over full-back Frank Fabra.

The Colombian international has been touted as a summer transfer target for the Toffees and Angelici says no offers have yet been received.

He did not deny they would consider a move if the offer is right.

The ball appears to be in Everton’s court, to pay up or walk away from a potential deal for the 27-year-old.

Argentine outlet Extra yesterday reported Boca were looking for £8.75 million for Fabra’s services, rather than the previously touted figure of £4.5 million.

The same report claimed a mystery English club are also showing interest in the left-back.

Fabra, 27, is expected to feature at the World Cup for Colombia this summer in Russia and would not have difficulty obtaining a work permit.
