It is an open secret that Everton are looking to sign a central defender in the summer transfer window.
Carlo Ancelotti could be looking to offload either of Yerry Mina or Michael Keane, and a top-quality centre-back is needed to replace them.
The Toffees have been heavily linked with a move for Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes, with the Guardian claiming last month that the 22-year-old is poised to become Everton’s first signing under Carlo Ancelotti.
Andy Hunter claimed that Everton officials have continued to negotiate a deal for the 22-year-old Brazilian player despite the lockdown situation across the world during the coronavirus pandemic.
