Everton are linked with Boca Juniors full-back Frank Fabra.
Everton’s deal for Colombian full-back Frank Fabra is still a little way off.
Argentine publication Extra report Everton are short of Boca Juniors’ asking price.
A fee of £4.5 million had been reported, but Boca are claimed to want a minimum of 10 million Euros (£8.75 million).
Napoli and PSV Eindhoven are said to be keen, but there is also competition from another English club.
The release of this information could be a tactic on Boca’s part to try and push Everton into paying their asking price.
But the Argentine giants are not asking for a huge amount, and Everton should consider meeting the fee which is being demanded.
Fabra, 27, is a Colombia international whose valuation could rise after the World Cup if he plays well.
He has just one year left on his contract at Boca, meaning they cannot go too high with their demands, but Everton should be wary of the competition.
