Everton have rejected Paris Saint-Germain's approach for Idrissa Gueye — and even warned they may report the French champions.

The Goodison Park club insist there has been no official offer, although it is claimed in France the serial Ligue 1 winners have bid £25million for the Senegal international midfielder.

The player himself is thought to want to leave after being tempted by the Parisiens, and that has upset boss Marco Silva. He wants to keep Gueye — and Everton have absolutely no interest in selling for such a fee.

Blues officials are now considering the prospect of a complaint about PSG's actions in apparently making illegal approaches to their player.

Everton have been consistent all along in suggesting they will not listen to offers for their important players, and only a figure too good to refuse would make them change their mind.

They consider the 29-year-old, signed from Aston Villa for £9m in August 2016, a vital part of the side— and also fear it would be impossible to replace him so late in the January transfer window.

Silva though, does want a striker and has been linked with Chelsea misfit Michy Batshuayi, who is currently back at Stamford Bridge after an unsuccessful loan to Spain's Valencia.

Batshuayi had agreed a subsequent loan move to Thierry Henry's Ligue 1 strugglers Monaco, but that was blocked by his parent club as they waited to see if there is any interest in a permanent deal for the Belgium international.

If PSG were to offer £40m for Gueye, it would leave Everton with the dilemma of whether they do business in the hope of freeing up cash and wages to sign that striker before the 11pm deadline on January 31.
