According to a report from Alicante Plaza (translated by Daily Star), the Toffees have already contacted Elche to inform them of their interest in Villar.
Juventus and Roma are thought to be keen on signing the player as well and Roma have already submitted an offer. The offer is thought to be in the region of £2.5m.
It will be interesting to see where the 21-year-old ends up this month.
It is not certain how much Villar will cost. He has a contract until 2021 with Elche and his release clause is over £20m.
