This summer, a new update has been released on the “exceptional” Everton transfer target.
Moyes provides forwarding updates with Everton
The 2025/26 Premier League season began just a few weeks away, with Everton launching its campaign on August 18th with a trip to Leeds United.
But that was annoyed summer transfer window for Bruce, but in terms of the amount of players signed, David Moet admits that he doesn’t feel fully prepared for his new campaign.
“We have a big priority to the point where we want to try it out on players if possible. But there’s also the numbers situation. The numbers are short so there’s a bit of both. We’re really trying to get the first thing we want.
“But we’re just starting to think about it, my goodness, we haven’t gotten enough of the line because we’re actively working to try (and) we’re not a club waiting to sell players before we bring it in. But that’s not really a situation.
Juventus midfielder Douglas Lewis is mentioned as a summer option as Everton is considering an upgrade in the middle, but Benfica’s Florentino Lewis, the subject of Toffee’s approach this week, and now a new update has been dropped on the latter.
Everton finds the asking price for “exceptional” ace
According to record (via Sports Witness), Everton will have to pay 25 million euros (about £21.7 million) to get a chance to sign Lewis this summer.
No official bids have been presented yet, and the aforementioned investigation has been the most advanced, and it is still unclear whether the Bruce will advance their efforts.
Midfielders are of paramount importance to Everton in the coming weeks, especially in terms of quality and depth in the middle of the park, especially after the exit of Abdoulaye Doucure.
Louis looks like the ideal option, winning 176 appearances for the 25-year-old Benfica, two Prime LaLiga titles with Benfica, and being praised by former manager Louis Vitoria.
“Florentino Lewis is an extraordinary talent. He has the qualities that every coach wants in a midfielder: tenacity, intelligence, technique.”
Lewis allows him to test overseas at the point of his career where he can appeal to the Premier League, where he averaged 4.2 tackles in the Champions League last season and averaged 4.2 tackles per game, where he shines there.
