Report: Everton told to pay just £7.2 million for Olympics star – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Everton can sign CF America ace Jorge Sanchez for around $10 million (£7.2 million) this summer according to a report from Record.
Right-back is clearly an area at Goodison Park where Toffees boss Rafa Benitez will want to strengthen this summer.
Seamus Coleman will turn 33 in October and there have been recent signs that the Irishman is on the downward curve of his career.
It seems as though Everton aren’t exactly flush with cash at the moment, however. Either that or the owners have decided to hold fire on backing Rafa in the transfer market until he proves himself.
Everton eyeing Jorge Sanchez swoop
The Merseyside outfit could make a move to sign the Mexico international this summer according to Record.
And the 23-year-old would allegedly set the Toffees back just £7.2 million.
That sounds like very good value for Everton indeed.
Sanchez is a top class defender, a tenacious tackler and he never stops running.
The CF America ace can also operate at left-back. That kind of versatility makes his reported asking price seem like even better value.
The 23-year-old shone for Mexico during the Olympics this summer.
It remains to be seen whether Everton face any kind of competition for Sanchez this summer, however.
