Everton are considering making a move for Croatian goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman
Ronald Koeman’s major priority this summer will be to sign a top goalkeeper.
Maarten Stekelenburg and Joel Robles, Everton’s current goalkeepers, had hardly been convincing last season, and Koeman would require far better players in that position.
Everton have been heavily linked with a move for Sunderland’s highly-rated goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, but with the Black Cats slapping a whooping £30 million price tag, it has forced the Toffees to look for other options.

Enter the picture, Lovre Kalinic.
Earlier this week, Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti claimed that Everton were preparing a move for the highly rated Gent goalkeeper.
Koeman has been impressed by the Croatian international, and a summer move for him seems likely.
Lovre Kalinic – Croatia
According to reports from The Northern Echo, Kalinic could be available for £10 million, and would be a cheaper alternative to Pickford.
Kalinic is highly rated in Belgium, and his January transfer to Genk made him the most expensive player in the club’s history.
Despite playing half of the season, he was awarded the best goalkeeper in the Belgian League for the 2016/17 season.
