Breaking news: Everton hijack man utd midfielder
Everton are considering a hijack to thwart Sevilla’s pursuit of Manchester
United youngster Hannibal Mejbri, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The young midfielder, who was leaning towards a move to Sevilla amid interest
from Freiburg and Lyon, could now make a move to Merseyside instead of a transfer abroad.
Contacts between Everton and the representatives of Hannibal Mejbri are
said to be underway today, throwing a spanner in the works for Sevilla. The La
Liga appeared to be in pole position to secure the loan deal but now the
chances of that happening have decreased.
The last-minute interest from Everton, who are thought to be targetting a
central midfielder for the winter window with limited funds, would allow
Hannibal to remain in the northwest of England rather than having to temporarily move abroad.
As of now, no final agreement has been reached with any club, and all Everton
have is interest at the moment, with no offers made, it is believed.
Romano broke the news of the Toffees’ interest on Saturday evening, saying on
his YouTube channel: “There is a big story ongoing. We told him that he was going to go on loan days ago.
“He had a number of offers – he told Sevilla he wanted to go there above all,
so the two clubs started to talk. But what happened? Everton came in and asked
to have a loan deal, in what would be a huge hijack of the transfer.”
Hannibal has struggled for game-time under Erik ten Hag and has been in
search for more minutes. He has only featured in bit-parts this season and is
now looking for a club to earn crucial experience and time playing.
