According to Sport, Everton are unwilling to pay more than €20 million (£18.06 million) in transfer fees for Jean-Clair Todibo of Barcelona.

It has been reported that the Toffees have ‘a loose agreement’ with Barcelona over the transfer of Todibo.

Barcelona want a fixed transfer fee of €25 million (£22.57 million), but the Toffees are not willing to budge from their first proposal, which is €20 million (£18.06 million) fixed plus €5 million (£4.51 million) in add-ons, according to the report.

The report in the Spanish publication has added that Todibo is waiting for a better offer than the one he has from Everton, with AS Roma also interested in securing the services of the 20-year-old, who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder and joined Schalke on loan in the January transfer window.
