Everton manager Marco Silva is reportedly interested in signing Benfica winger Zivkovic though the Premier League outfit will have to pay big.
Everton’s Portuguese manager Marco Silva is apparently keen to raid Benfica for one of the top young talents in Iberian football.
According to Record in November, the 41-year-old is hoping to bring Andrija Zivkovic to Goodison Park in the January transfer window and with good reason. The 14-time Serbia international has been hugely impressive in the Primeira Liga even if he is still not a regular in Rui Vitoria’s starting XI.
But now much will Zivkovic cost? Well, Record claims that Benfica will demand at least £26 million, though a January switch is easier said than done, given that the Lisbon giants have already rejected an offer from Shakhtar Donetsk to sign the 22-year-old in the New Year.
Everton, however, have shown that they are willing to spend big, having broken their transfer record in two of the last three transfer windows for Gylfi Sigurdsson and Richarlison.
Zivkovic would give Marco Silva extra options in attack, given that he is capable of playing both on the right or the left. The youngster is renowned for his dribbling skills, his ability to cut open opposition defences and his accurate set pieces.
