Everton transfer rumours ahead of Bramley-Moore Dock move

The Toffees have pulled clear of the relegation zone following Moyes’ appointment back in January. The Scot signed a two-and-a-half-year back in Merseyside and will be the man tasked with leading the club at the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium in 2025/26.

David Moyes looks set to make his first permanent signing at Everton.

The Friedkin Group are also gearing up for their first full season as Everton owners after taking control in December, and there have been plenty of players linked with moves to the Blues this summer.

Recently, Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has emerged on Everton’s radar, with Spurs seemingly willing to sell their player in order to sign Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.

Players with Premier League experience appear to be an avenue Everton are ready to go down, with West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek emerging as a rumoured priority option for Moyes.

Now, another name has been shared as a potential Everton transfer target, and one who may not cost a penny come the summer.

According to Caught Offside, Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is attracting plenty of interest ahead of the summer, where he is currently on course to become a free agent.

There have been no discussions over extending his stay at Old Trafford, and it looks as if the Toffees are eyeing a move. Everton are thought to be alerted by Lindelof’s contract situation at Man Utd, alongside Fulham, West Ham and Wolves in the top flight.

Elsewhere, former club Benfica are also keen, whereas AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus also have the £120,000-a-week defender on their list.

The Sweden international, who will turn 31 in the summer, has come up against the Blues on numerous occasions over the years, winning six, drawing four and losing two in his 12 matches against Everton.

Lindelof has plenty of experience in the Premier League and has won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Red Devils during his eight-year stay.

He’s also come in for praise while in England, with teammate Harry Maguire saying back in 2023 after the defender’s goal against Luton Town: “Victor [Lindelof] is technically brilliant. You’ve seen over the years that he’s a great footballer. I’m really pleased for him, he was brilliant today.”

It seems as if Lindelof may have numerous offers on the table over the coming months, and if he decides to remain in England, Everton could be a potential destination going off this recent report.
