The winter transfer window is proving to be an eventful period for Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia, who appears on the verge of parting ways with Salernitana.
Following Wolverhampton’s summer pursuit, another English club, Everton, has expressed interest in acquiring the talented forward’s services.
Reports from both English and Italian sources confirm Everton’s inquiry into Boulaye Dia, as the Premier League club explores the possibility of securing his talents.
The player, no longer in Filippo Inzaghi’s plans, could command a transfer fee in the vicinity of €20 million, as reported by II Matino on Wednesday.
This marks a significant development after Salernitana’s failed attempt to secure Dia’s signature in September, with Wolverhampton nearly sealing the deal at that time.
The unresolved situation left the player discontented, and given the current circumstances with Salernitana languishing in the lower ranks of the league, a separation appears imminent.
Financial considerations for Salernitana, aiming to bolster their funds in the relegation battle, add further weight to the likelihood of Dia’s departure.
It is noteworthy that Boulaye Dia has a clause in his contract permitting a move to a Premier League team for €21 million should such an offer materialize.
While Everton has initiated contact, they are not alone in the race for Dia’s signature. Inter and Arsenal are also reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
As the winter transfer window approaches its opening on January 1st, the competition for Boulaye Dia’s services intensifies, promising a riveting saga in the weeks to come.
