Everton FC transfer news: AC Milan set to sell defender Gustavo Gomez to Toffees, claim reports in Italy

1 Gustavo Gomez could be on his way out of AC Milan

AC Milan are preparing to sell defender Gustavo Gomez to Everton, following talks with representatives of the Merseyside club.

The Toffees have sent a delegation to Italy in an attempt to lure some of the country’s finest talent to Goodison Park.

And it has now emerged that they have set their sights on Gomez, with Milan ready to sell the Paraguay international, according to Calciomercato.

The 24-year-old joined the Italian giants last summer in a £7m switch from Argentinian side CA Lanus and Milan are hopeful of recovering a similar fee this summer.

Everton’s representatives are expected to hold talks with manager Ronald Koeman before deciding whether or not to go ahead and complete a deal for Gomez.

The defender made just 11 starts in Serie A last season and has a contract until 2021.
