Vlasic is currently on loan with CSKA Moscow, but the Everton man has been linked with a move to Italy.

Nikola Vlasic’s agent Tonci Martic has told TuttoMercatoWeb that his future is expected to be away from Everton as the winger continues to shine on loan with CSKA Moscow.

The 21-year-old has been on fire in Russia, scoring five goals in 15 outings for CSKA including one against Champions League winners Real Madrid in a shock 1-0 win in October.

Vlasic was shipped out on loan by new Everton manager Marco Silva but the Portuguese boss may be regretting that decision, after Vlasic worked his way into the Croatia set-up and played against England on Sunday.

Martic gave plenty of insight into Vlasic’s future, claiming Everton value the player between £13.3million and £17.8million, while also suggesting that Italian sides Inter Milan and AS Roma are possible destinations for the attacker.

“He is one of the strongest players at his age,” Martic said. “He will stay until the end of the season at CSKA Moscow, where he is on loan, then in the summer we will see.

“Let’s see [on Inter and Roma interest]. It is too soon to say now. He has a market valuation that is around 15-20 million euros, so he’s a feasible option for the first 5-6 Serie A clubs. And he has the right head to impose himself at these clubs”

Vlasic joined Everton from Croatian side Hajduk Split for a fee believed to be in the region of £8million last summer under Ronald Koeman, but he managed just 19 appearances in all competitions.

It remains to be seen if Vlasic will be sold by Everton, with his performances likely to be impressing the Goodison Park hierarchy. He has just under four years remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2022.
