Everton Close to Completing Deal, Pending Medical- Report

The very strange yet hopefully short-lived transfer saga of Gerard Deulofeu looks to have run its course and reports are saying (Calcio Mercato) that the Everton winger is due at AC Milan’s grounds for a medical today.  There’s been much confusion, as Everton were apparently irritated that Milan had announced the deal ahead of time.

This comes after AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani complained about not being able to reach an agreement with the Toffees due to their insistence that they did not want to give Milan the option to only loan the young Spaniard.

For Deulofeu’s part, the kid just wants to play.  He has said he can’t wait to play with the likes of Suso and Carlos Bacca.  Milan are doing much better than they have over the last few years, and he’ll be hoping to take them over the line.

For Ronald Koeman and the Toffees, they now have one less player that wouldn’t have been used off the wage books.  Let’s see how this one works out for all parties involved, but it should be great for everyone.
