According to reports from Calico Mercato, who cite L’Equipe, Mario Balotelli will be leaving his current club Nice at the end of the season.
Both Everton and French side Marseille have been put on alert with the Italian’s immediate future appearing to be elsewhere after a strong season in France.
Everton may have a difficult job persuading the striker to join them in Merseyside as they will face added competition from the likes of Las Palmas and Atletico Madrid in Spain.
Although it is looking increasingly unlikely that he will sign for the Madrid side as he reportedly has issues with the levels of discipline from their current boss Diego Simeone, who looks set to remain with the club next season.
Everton face the prospect of losing Romelu Lukaku this summer after another brilliant campaign for the Toffees and may struggle to replace the 24 league goals he has scored under Ronald Koeman this season.
