# Everton: Toffees eye Miralem Pjanic transfer

**Everton have emerged in recent hours as contenders to sign Miralem Pjanic in the summer transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Davies may be leaving

As per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-southampton-set-sights-on-new-davies-raid-after-everton-talks-update/), Southampton have reignited their interest in signing Tom Davies after failing to lure him away from Goodison Park in last summer’s window.

A source from the Saints has told the news outlet that they will make a move to sign the 22-year-old midfielder if they are given any sort of encouragement by the Merseyside club.

If Davies were to leave, then Toffees would need to find a replacement, and that could well be Pjanic.

### The Latest: Everton eye Pjanic

As per [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/via-escape-pjanic-barcelona-juventus-everton-arthur-20210605.html), Everton have emerged in recent hours as showing their interest in signing Pjanic, but Barcelona will not listen to any offers below €35m (£30.1m) if they wish to sell him.

It is up to the Toffees now whether they are willing to match the asking price requested by the La Liga club, as the story should develop over the course of the window.

### The Verdict: Everton must avoid Pjanic

Even though a deal for Pjanic could sound quite tempting, given that he has been a big name in European football over the last few years, making [80](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/miralem-pjani%C4%87/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/44162/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=CL&pos=&trainer_id=) appearances in the UEFA Champions League for the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and Roma, Everton must avoid that temptation.

At 31 years of age, the Bosnia international is coming into the closing chapters of his career and he could struggle to cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.

A fee of £30.1m is certainly way too much to be spending on a player of his age, and so the Toffees should really be looking at other targets in the central midfield position.
