As Everton seeks to replace its Belgian midfield maestro Amadou Onana, who is set to depart this summer, the Toffees have turned their attention to FC Zürich’s Guinean international midfielder, Cheick Condé, according to reports from Africafoot.
Cheick Oumar Condé, currently 23 years old, has been delivering an impressive season at FC Zürich. With a contract extending until June 2027, Condé has established himself as a key figure within the Zurich team, featuring in 27 matches across all competitions.
His contributions include one goal and three assists, highlighting his versatility and effectiveness on the field.
Condé’s stellar performances have garnered interest from numerous European clubs.
Alongside Everton, clubs such as Stade Rennais, Lille, RC Lens, Lyon, FC Metz, Trabzonspor, Sassuolo, Torino, Granada, Norwich City, and Celtic Glasgow have also expressed keen interest in securing his services.
However, FC Zürich remains resolute in their stance regarding Condé’s potential departure.
Despite the growing interest from various clubs, the Swiss outfit, which Condé joined during the 2022 summer transfer window from Trinity Zlin, is adamant that he will not be allowed to leave for a fee less than €10 million.
Condé’s emergence as a sought-after talent underscores his promising future in European football. With his blend of youth, skill, and international experience, he presents an enticing prospect for clubs seeking midfield reinforcements.
As negotiations unfold in the coming months, the race to secure Condé’s signature is likely to intensify, with Everton poised to be among the frontrunners in pursuit of his services.
