Sandro Ramirez looks set to leave Everton as Real Sociedad reportedly join the race to sign him.
Sociedad head coach Asier Garitano has turned to Sandro as he believes the 23-year-old can solve two roles that need addressing in his team – play-maker and striker.
The Spain Under-21 international has been deemed surplus to requirements at Goodison Park under new manager Marco Silva and therefore could realistically leave before the weekend.
It remains to be seen what sort of deal is struck for Sandro, though, with a permanent transfer of around £9m being discussed as well as an initial loan that would become permanent for the same price.
The forward only joined the Toffees from Malaga last summer, but struggled to assert himself in the Premier League and was loaned to Sevilla in January.
That move did not quite work out and the Seville outfit chose not to activate their own option of signing the Spaniard permanently, but Garitano seems keen to add him to his own ranks at the Anoeta Stadium.
