Everton are reportedly interested in the Croatia international.
Turkish Football has reported that Everton are renewing an interest in Croatia international Domagoj Vida.
Back in November, Croatian news outlet 24 Sata claimed that Everton had offered a contract to the then-free agent, who wound up joining Besiktas in January.
However, the 29-year-old has failed to settle in Istanbul and Turkish Football reckons that the Toffees have now asked about bringing him to Goodison Park.
The report adds that Vida, who has 58 caps for his country, earns around £2.6 million per year in Turkey, the equivalent of £50,000 per week.
The centre-back made headlines over the weekend after The Sun ran a story about how poorly his hairstyle was being received on Twitter following his country’s 2-0 win over Nigeria.
Do Everton need him?
Well, they certainly need a centre-back, yes.
Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams are a combined 68 years old and new Toffees boss Marco Silva certainly needs some younger blood, in light of some of Williams’s shockers last season.
It remains to be seen whether Vida is an upgrade on either, but the fact that he is starting games for his country on the biggest stage of all is a positive sign.
