Everton have been linked with a move for Juventus defender Koni De Winter.
According to TuttoJuve, Everton are interested in signing Koni De Winter from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
The Italian news outlet has claimed that French club Lille are also showing interest in the Belgian defender.
Both Everton and Lille have inquired about the situation of De Winter at Juventus.
Italian and European giants Juventus value the 21-year-old defender highly and could make him part of the first team for next season, according to TuttoJuve.
Everton could struggle to sign Juventus defender Koni De Winter
We do not think that Everton will be able to sign Koni De Winter from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
De Winter is only 21 now and has a bright future ahead of him.
Juventus reportedly rate the Belgian highly, which suggests that the former Serie A champions may not be willing to let him leave on a permanent deal this summer.
Even if the Bianconeri considered a loan exit, how would it help Juventus if the defender went to Everton?
After all, the Premier League is very different to Serie A.
If De Winter is to be a long-term success at Juventus, then it would make sense for the youngster to play in Serie A.
The defender spent last season on loan at Empoli from Juventus.
The 21-year-old made 12 starts and two substitute appearances in Serie A during his loan spell at Empoli.
We think that Juventus are likely to include De Winter in the first-team squad for at least the first half of next season and then evaluate his future in the January transfer window.
Everton are likely to be disappointed in their quest to sign De Winter from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
