View Everton transfer targets
Everton are preparing an offer to sign Lutsharel Geertruida, with the former Sunderland loanee expected to make a decision on his future in the next 24 hours, according to a report published via OneFootball on Thursday.
The Merseyside club are understood to be ready to move quickly as they look to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. Geertruida has emerged as a target for Everton, but they are not alone in monitoring the situation, with Ajax also credited with an interest in the player.
The short timeframe around the decision could force interested clubs to accelerate their plans. If Everton are to secure an agreement, a formal offer may need to be submitted promptly, particularly with Ajax also in the picture. The report suggests Geertruida’s future could be resolved within a day, leaving little room for a drawn-out negotiation.
For Everton, the proposed bid would represent another attempt to add depth and quality as they continue shaping their squad. The club’s interest in a player with previous experience in English football may also be viewed as significant, although the report does not indicate the size of any potential bid or the terms being discussed.
Ajax’s involvement could complicate matters, and Geertruida will have to weigh up his options as the competing interest develops. Everton’s next step is now expected to be decisive, with the club reportedly ready to put an offer forward.
A clearer outcome should arrive quickly if the 24-hour timeline proves accurate, with Everton hoping their move can persuade Geertruida to choose a return to English football.
