Everton have reached an agreement of €25million with Napoli over the signing of Italy forward Manolo Gabbiadini, according to Calciomercato.
The Italian has been subject to interest from Everton over the past week and after failing to sign Deportivo striker Lucas Perez the Toffees have moved onto Gabbiadini.
It was understood that Everton were offering €22million but Napoli wanted closer to €25million with €5million in add-ons. If the reports are to be believed then the two clubs have come to a compromise.
Earlier today Vincenzo Morabito who is part of the deal had been speaking on Italian radio about sealing the deal.
I hope so, yes, we must try to close today, make the most of the day because Saturday and Sunday there is the championship, they we all be a bit distracted, the coaches.
Now it looks as though Everton have got their man, with Gabbiadini now looking likely to discuss personal terms and complete a medical. The Italian would not be eligible to play this weekend, but could feature after the international break as Everton take on Sunderland on the 12th September.
The Blues have also been linked with players such as Joe Hart and Islam Slimani and it looks to be a busy end to the transfer window.
