Boca Juniors midfielder Milton Delgado has been linked with a move from the South American club, with Everton interested in him.
According to SportsBoom, they will also face competition from Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Italian champions Inter Milan are monitoring his situation closely. It will be interesting to see if Everton can make a deal.
The player could be sold for around 17.2 million euros. If a deal goes through, it would be a bargain signing for Everton.
Everton need more quality in the center of the park and the 20-year-old filler defender will add physicality and protection to the squad. He has the technical attributes to compete at a high level and regular football in the Premier League will help him reach his full potential.
Everton have a talented squad and will be aiming to qualify for Europe next season. They need to keep improving their team.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are also working to improve the quality of their midfield. The 20-year-old could prove to be a good long-term investment and form a solid partnership with Adam Wharton. The England international has been outstanding in the middle of the park but needs more support.
The 20-year-old South American player will be a future asset for the club if a contract is finalized.
The Eagles recently won the FA Cup and Community Shield and reached the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League. If they win, they will qualify for next season’s Europa League, making it an attractive transfer destination for players.
It will be interesting to see where Delgado ends up.
