Napoli defender Nikola Maksimovic has been offered to Premier League clubs West Ham United and Everton by his agent, as reported by FC Inter News.
You can see why Fali Ramadani, the Serbian’s representative, would pick up the phone to Goodison Park and the London Stadium as he looks to find a new home for an out-of-contract centre-half.
Everton appear to be in the market for a new defensive talent, with reports suggesting Kalidou Koulibaly could be reunited with Allan and Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park during the summer transfer window.
West Ham, meanwhile, are expected to lose Fabian Balbuena in the near future.
The Paraguay international has slipped to fourth in the pecking order and his agent admitted, three weeks ago, a parting of the ways was inevitable at this stage.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Everton or West Ham will seize the opportunity to snap up Maksimovic, who worked with Ancelotti at Napoli, on a free transfer.
According to FC Inter News, Ramadani has been in touch, offering his 29-year-old client to the Toffees and the Hammers.
Interestingly, West Ham made a £14 million bid for Maksimovic six months ago (talkSPORT).
That was, however, before Craig Dawson silenced his doubters in claret and blue, with Issa Diop also breathing fresh life into his stalling Hammers career.
The report adds Maksimovic, who is demanding a £50,000-a-week contract at his next club, would prefer to stay in Italy, with Serie A leaders Inter Milan a potential destination.
