Everton have slapped a hefty price tag on Ramiro Funes Mori , according to the defender’s agent.

Italian side Lazio are said to be interested in the Blues centre-half but his representative Jorge Cyterszpiler claims they value the 25-year-old at over 30 millions Euros.

Mori joined Everton from River Plate in September in a deal worth £9.5m and made 37 appearances in his debut season, scoring five goals.

And now the Argentina defender is said to be attracting interest from Serie A side Lazio.

Cyterszpiler told Lalaziosiamonoi.it: “Lazio are a great club, but Everton do not want to sell and evaluates him more than 30 million.

“But football is strange, anything can happen, he is among the best left-handed centre-backs in the world at the time.”

Mori had also caught the eye of watching Barcelona scouts - at Goodison to run the rule over John Stones - earlier this season.

However, Mori’s form and discipline dipped towards the end of the campaign and after missing three matches for his red card in the derby, he was left out of the matchday squad to face Norwich City on the final day of the campaign.
