Euro 2020 is close to its final curtain, with England and Italy set for an incredible showdown in the final on Sunday.
Despite the tournament flying by, fans have had the incredible opportunity of watching some of the best players in Europe.
This summer will no doubt see a number of big-money moves following some standout performers from the tournament.
One of which has seen Everton heavily linked with prior to the tournament and following his countries departure.
Now, according to Voetbal International journalist Marco Timmer, via HITC, Everton are in talks with Mino Raiola for the transfer of PSV right-back Denzel Dumfries.
The Dutchman enjoyed a fantastic campaign with Oranje, despite them losing in the Round of 16 to the Czech Republic.
Everton had been interested in the defender prior to Euro 2020, but his performances has cemented their interest.
“Yes, of course, there are negotiations going on, and with that, it can also be counted on the negotiations that in this case, Mino Raiola is conducting with Dortmund or Liverpool for Malen and Inter and Everton for Dumfries, so he has been given that space.”

As Timmer states, the Toffees will face some competition for the signature of Dumfries in the form of Inter Milan.
The Serie A winning club are looking to further strengthen their options at right-back after signing Matteo Darmian.
However, Everton still stands a great chance given PSV’s low valuation of Dumfries at just £14million.
Both Everton and Inter will have the cash to spend this summer, especially after Inter’s sale of Achraf Hakimi to PSG.
The Toffees should not let this sway them, however, as they still have plenty to offer in regards to their rebuild.
Despite not having European football on the table like Inter, there is no denying that Everton have big plans.
With a new stadium and the board eager to build a team capable of European football, Dumfries would be the perfect long-term replacement for the ageing Seamus Coleman.
