Everton have offered £9 million to Southampton for Jose Fonte, who is also wanted by Jose Mourinho and Manchester United.
The Toffees are almost sure to lose John Stones this summer with Manchester City determined to land the defender. In order to fill that void, Ronald Koeman is looking for an apt replacement and looks like they have stepped on the toes of Manchester United. The Red Devils are looking to further strengthen their defence and the Portuguese defender was considered one of the targets for them. However the involvement of Everton has complicated the matter for the Red Devils.
Everton has recently appointed Ronald Koeman and after the dismal season under Roberto Martinez, the Merseyside club is desperate to do better in the 2016-17 season. The likes of Lukaku and Stones could be leaving the club and they will definitely need reinforcement. This makes the Toffees a very dangerous club to compete against in the transfer market. Are Manchester United up to the job?
