# Everton: Toffees in Rodrigo Becao talks

**[Reliable journalist and transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio](https://twitter.com/DiMarzio) has now revealed some exciting [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) news involving Rodrigo Becao.**

### The Lowdown: Solid season

The 26-year-old was a standout player for Udinese last season, ranking highly among his team-mates in terms of aerial duels won and average tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocks and passes per match in Serie A ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/86/Show/Italy-Udinese)).

The 6 foot 3 centre-back could now join new signing James Tarkowski at Goodison Park, as Frank Lampard looks to bolster his defensive options for next term.

### The Latest: Talks ongoing

Taking to Twitter, Di Marzio has revealed that there is now a ‘[negotiation in progress](https://twitter.com/DiMarzio/status/1543286198827102208)‘ between Everton and Udinese over the potential transfer of Becao.

However, expanding in his latest [column](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/becao-everton-udinese-calciomercato-news), he adds that there is still some distance between the two clubs over a fee, and an agreement is not close as of yet.

### The Verdict: Get it done

Currently rated at £5.4m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rodrigo-becao/profil/spieler/410158), Becao is not likely to break the bank, so this is a deal that Everton should look to get done as soon as possible, especially after the [£60m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12643134/richarlison-tottenham-complete-60m-deal-for-everton-forward) that they received from selling Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur.

Becao is a fellow Brazilian, and at 26 years of age, he is about to enter his prime.

He could establish a formidable centre-back partnership with Tarkowski and would also provide extra competition for the likes of Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane, Mason Holgate and Yerry Mina.
