# Everton: Yannick Bolasie attracting interest from Blackburn, Millwall and Middlesbrough

**Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is attracting interest from Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Middlesbrough on transfer deadline day.**

According to [tweet](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1317034094807683072) from freelance football journalist Pete O’Rourke, the preference of the DR Congo international would be to sign for ‘Boro, but the other two Championship clubs are also in the race.

Bolasie has [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/fans-buzzing-bolasie-told-to-leave-ancelotti/) been told by Carlo Ancelotti that he can leave the Merseyside club, so only time will tell as to whether he will leave Goodison Park before the 5pm deadline.

### Bolasie exit would suit all parties

Indeed, a move away from the Toffees, whether on loan or in a permanent transfer, would arguably suit all of the parties involved in the possible deal for Bolasie, who needs game time as has not played for the Blues since [2018](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-bolasie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/75471/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

He has also only managed to score two goals and supply four assists in 32 games in all competitions for Everton, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-bolasie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/75471/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

Bolasie is currently earning £75,000 per week, or £3.9m per year (via [Salary Sport](https://salarysport.com/football/player/yannick-bolasie/)), and so it may be an idea for Everton to try and get as much of those wages as possible off their books while he is not playing for them.

### Can someone get the Bolasie deal done?

The question is whether any deal for Bolasie can be done before the domestic window shuts at 5pm today, as there are still a lot of aspects that need to be sorted out before any move can take place.
