Paris Saint-Germain want to sign the Everton midfielder, according to reports.
According to a report from French media outlet Paris United, Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel is insistent on signing Everton ace Idrissa Gueye this summer, but the Merseyside outfit are now demanding a huge €50 million (£45 million) fee for the Senegalese midfielder.
The 29-year-old joined the Toffees from Aston Villa in the summer of 2016, and he has gone on to be a real success at Goodison Park, making 108 appearances in all competitions in the process.
Gueye is vital to the way in which Everton play, so perhaps it is no surprise that Marco Silva is so keen to keep hold of him.
Paris United claims that PSG boss Tuchel has made signing the Senegal international his priority this summer, however, although he will not come cheap.
The French publication claims that Everton have now upped their asking price for Gueye to £45 million.
And whether the Ligue 1 giants will be prepared to pay that amount remains to be seen.
If Everton do sell the former Villa man, it will be vital for Silva to bring in an able-bodied replacement, and that will be easier said than done, considering the Senegal ace’s undeniable quality.
