Everton boss Marco Silva has already suggested that the Toffees will try and bring in Andre Gomes on a permanent deal.
Everton director of football Marcel Brands was spotted at Old Trafford last night, and Toffees fans are hoping it was a business visit.
The Everton head of recruitment was photographed outside Manchester United’s home ground ahead of the visit of Barcelona.
And Everton supporters are now hoping that Brands was in attendance to sort out Andre Gomes’ permanent move with Barca officials.
Gomes has been in wonderful form for Everton this season, but he is only at Goodison Park on loan.
Marco Silva has already confirmed that Everton are keen to snap up Gomes on a longer-term deal, but they face competition.
The Telegraph claim that Everton are being rivalled by Tottenham Hotspur for the £30 million man.
In the game Brands went to watch, Barcelona won 1-0 against United – with neither side producing their best performance.
