Everton will try to sign André Gomes on a permanent deal next summer
The current Everton coach, Marco Silva, confirms the club will attempt to sign Gomes once his loan deal has expired
Everton coach Marco Silva has revealed that the club are working on a permanent deal for FC Barcelona's on-loan midfielder Andre Gomes.
Silva says Everton will begin talks soon with Barça to discuss the chances of Gomes being allowed to move next summer once his loan deal expires. It's worth pointing out that there's no option to buy clause in the existing loan agreement.
The Portuguese star has been one of Everton's best performers this season following an injury-plagued start to life in England. Now Everton are keen to move forward quickly in order to secure a transfer before other sides become interested.
no pressure
"I think in the right moment we have to do something to achieve one player like Andre," Silva said. "We have time to do that. We are happy with him, he is enjoying the moment here and I don't think it is a good moment to talk every week because it's better they (Barcelona) forget about him a little bit about Andre!"
“Andre is enjoying his time but we don't want to put this pressure of a decision on him. It is early," added Silva. “At the end of the season we will talk to the player and with the club and after then we will take the decision or not.”
