Everton's Ambitious Transfer Plans

In a bold move to bolster their attacking options, Everton is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire forward Thierno Barry from the Spanish club Villarreal. According to sources, the discussions began last week, and it seems the 22-year-old is eager to make the switch, giving the green light to the transfer.

Negotiations Heating Up

While Barry's contract with Villarreal includes a hefty €40 million ($46.6 million) release clause, Everton is determined to negotiate a lower fee that will benefit both clubs.

Impressive Performance in LaLiga

Last season, Barry showcased his talent by scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 35 LaLiga matches. His efforts were crucial in helping Villarreal finish fifth in the league and secure a spot in the prestigious Champions League.

Joining an Exciting Everton Squad

Should this deal go through, Barry will become Everton's second summer signing, joining the ranks alongside Carlos Alcaraz, who recently sealed a permanent move from Flamengo to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Competing for a Spot in the Lineup

With the departure of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Barry will be competing with Guinea-Bissau international Beto to take the lead in Everton's attack for the upcoming Premier League season.

A Rising Star for France

Adding to his credentials, Barry recently played a key role in France's journey to the semifinals of the European Under-21 Championship, scoring once in five matches. His potential is undeniable, and Everton is hoping to harness that talent in the English Premier League.
