Portuguese ace unlikely to link up with his former boss at Sporting despite being linked with £15 million move to Merseyside from Italy this summer
Everton boss Marco Silva has rebuffed reports linking Inter star Joao Mario with a move to Merseyside.
There was speculation last week that the Italians had offered the 26-year-old midfielder to Everton in a £15 million deal.
Blues’ director of football Marcel Brands and Silva have drawn up a summer wish list in a bid to make a push for a top-six berth in the Premier League next season.
