Salernitana could make a move to sign Everton striker Neal Maupay
The Italian football club Salernitana has reportedly set their sights on Everton’s forward Neal Maupay. As per reports from Tutto Salerno, Paulo Sousa’s team is keenly interested in acquiring the Frenchman’s services ahead of the summer transfer window.
Salernitana’s management is hoping that Everton will be open to the idea of allowing Maupay to move on to a new club. However, they are not alone in their pursuit of the striker’s signature. French Ligue 1 outfit Nice is also keeping a close eye on the situation.
Maupay only recently signed for Everton in August 2022
, in a deal that saw him commit to a three-year contract with an option for an additional year. The exact amount paid by Everton to bring him in remains undisclosed. However, Maupay has found it difficult to secure regular playing time this season.
Despite featuring in 26 games for Everton, Maupay has only managed to score a solitary goal while providing one assist. Nevertheless, his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, stands at an impressive 13 million euros.
